Day 3
We went to a tour agency near the hotel as per planned, waiting for the Burmese who was supposed to help us to book the one day trip, we told him up front we did not book in advance (Porky was a bit unwell)and can we still go with the tour group. The illiterate guy may be just really poor in English , he made us waited for almost half an hour to realise that we did not book and wanted to join on the same day , then he only said no way to join on the same day. We stomped off angrily, the guy could have told us earlier. However, Penang is kind to us, we took a bus from Komtar , reached Ke Lok Shi in 45 minutes. Here goes our Prayer part of the trip.
Ke Lok Shi on mountain.
Beautiful decoration on ceiling.
We ate one of the best Penang Laksa down the hill of Ke Lok Shi.
Back to Georgetown, we took another bus from Komtar to Thai and Burmese Temple along off Jalan Burma, Jalan Pulau Tikus, easily access. They are enemies for generations, it s funny that their temples just opposite each other.
Thai temple.
Thai Rojak stall hawker.
Cross the road we reached Burmese Temple.
Art piece in Burmese Temple.
Return to Jalan Penang , we wanted to visit Khoo Kongsi but it was too late , so we followed the advice of a kind Penang Chinese auntie who speaks English, to visit Baba Nyonya Museum.
Passing by a barber shop that looks really 60's.
A sculpture on Teochew Clan roof top.
Here we go , Baba Nyonya Museum. I took many shots here as it is full of antiques and gold, the Baba and Nyonya were really rich in the past. I would not post all the pictures here as i think it is too many, definitely worth the entrance fee.
We left the museum, time for a good feast, we accidentally bumped into a Hainanese Restaurant , Xin Qiong Ann, which serve good pork chop and chee char and located at Lorong Chulia . It is good and cheap , except the old waiter only speak Hokkien , which i cannot handle.
Blue Mansion at night, a World Heritage site convert to a hotel.

Guess who is this poor guy carrying all the bags? Perhaps he is praying for a chance to escape the clutches of evil lover. He he he...

Thats the end of Pray.
Day 4
We have only a few hours in the noon , our flight is at 6 pm. So we can only stroll at nearby area of our hotel.
We decide to see if we can have high tea at Eastern and Oriental Hotel , but unfortunately it s operating hours starts at 2 pm , we could not make it for the airport.
We returned to Xin Qiong Ann for a hearty Chinese meal.
All i can say is Penang is beautiful. It is difficult not to fall in love , with the people , place and the pace of this little town. We will definitely come back to this Island of Love, the only one in Malaysia.
