Penang Island

Grade sitzen wir vor unserem Zelt direkt am Monkey Beach und blicken auf das Meer. Um hier hin zu kommen mussten wir durch den Nationalpark wandern und anschließend mit einem kleinen Fischerboot fahren.

Der Strand ist nicht sehr touristisch und ein kleines paradiesisches Plätzchen, unser Hippie Zeltnachbar sitzt neben uns im Sand und spielt Ukulele, im Hintergrund hört man die Wellen rauschen .

Der Besitzer der Zelte lebt sogar hier und hört den ganzen Tag Reggae, eben übergab er uns seinen kleine Welpen Honey. Wir liefen ein bischen mit ihr am Strand rum und spielten mit ihr. Wie könnte es noch perfekter sein, ein paradiesischer Strand, Meer, Reggae (Coco, you would really like it here :D) and a little puppy!!! We can't complain and just enjoy the moment.

Unfortunately, we will only sleep here for one night, then we will go back to a small guesthouse surrounded by coconut trees, papaya trees and banana plants.

Tony's guesthouse is really a very nice place to relax. We have already had many beautiful and interesting conversations with Tony's friend Cen, a middle-aged Japanese man who meditates there all day. He seems to be completely in harmony with himself and the world and radiates a lot of positive energy. He has offered to meditate with us tomorrow and tell us a bit about his practices. We are very excited and looking forward to this experience.

Before that, we spent a few days in Georgetown, a former hippie place that is more touristy but still has its charm. There, we explored the city and went up a mountain with a beautiful view of Georgetown and the surrounding landscape.

In 2 days, we will continue our journey to Langkawi, a Malaysian island right next to Thailand.

Best regards,

Klara & Lea

20:35: Klara is hungry and wants to ask the ranger if he has something to eat.

Lea: "Well, you'll survive." 😅👍🏻

Klara can hardly believe it: "Today we only had a coconut, 2 small bananas, a few crackers, and a few beans." 😂

Lea falls off her chair laughing.

-since there are no stalls on the beach, we have no choice but to eat sand.
