I wasn't exactly thrilled when the girls decided to watch the sunrise on Penang Hill in George Town on the last day. In retrospect, not a bad idea! :-)
We were all pretty tired when we stood at the bus station at quarter past five in the morning. However, we were not alone, there were many prostitutes, drunk partygoers, rats... around us. But we waited in vain for the bus. Fortunately, we then found a (most likely slightly intoxicated) taxi driver who took us to Penang Hill at an overpriced rate.
With a horde of photographers in tow, we took a small train up the mountain. It was completely quiet up here and it was beautiful to look at the slowly awakening city.
From Penang Hill, we then went to a Chinese temple complex. Before that, we had breakfast at a nearby market for the equivalent of €0.20. :-) However, some of the smells that hit you at the markets are really borderline (especially in the early morning).
The next day, we took the ferry to Langkawi Island. More on that in the next entry. :-)
