Penang - 24th to 25th of March 2008

From KL we got the overnight train north to Penang. Penang is an island off the west coast of Malaysia which is connected to the mainland by a bridge. We arrived at 5.50am off the train (after not much sleep), so after a quick snooze at our hotel we maximised our one day in Penang and went up the Penang Hill and to a beach on the northern side of the island, Batu Ferringhi.
