We have been enjoying Indian breakfast for the last few days but today we resisted and ate Chinese style. Dumplings and a great Curry Mee with a sweet dough pastry for dessert ...
We continued to walk through a street market selling souvenirs,clothes and shoes, which was beginning to pack away. Next we tried to book a bus bus but none of the travel agents could help as they had no connections on the east coast. We even tried to do it online but we needed a Malaysian ID card. Eventually, we went to Starbucks where the manager helped us and even let us borrow his personal laptop!
Feeling hungry again we stopped off in a hawker food area and ate the most delicious pork cooked in a clay pot. We are beginning to see why Penang is the food capital of Malaysia. Around every corner is something totally scrummy to eat ...
The afternoon was spent ambling. Every street has so much to see with religious buildings including mosques, churches, Hindu and Buddhist temples. Old colonial buildings used for past trade and organised 'street art'! We ended up at the clan jetties as it got dark. We had a quick look, drank tea and will explore more in the light of day tomorrow.
Germany v France kept us busy until 2am. The World Cup games start an hour later here than Indonesia at 12am due to an extra hour time difference!
