Penang, Malyasia

Ella and I tagged along with Suds on his recent flight to Penang. We had 57 hours there to relax by the pool.







The hotel the crew stay at is in the city but you can take a shuttle to one of their sister hotels on the beach.

The 2 sister hotels were Shangri-la's, so they were very nice!






Ella cools of in the kiddie pool












Brrr! The pool was cooler than her normal bath













Gotta keep covered up!









The hotel had a snake show in the afternoon.
This guy was nuts!
He put one of the snakes heads in his mouth!
















We were in Penang in 2002 and took a picture of Suds and I on the beach with rocks similar to these...oh how times have changed!





Sunday we treated ourselves to a fancy Sunday Brunch.

It was HUGE!
There was a curry station, paste station, soup station, carving station, lobster, crabs, prawns, and oysters.





But it was the desserts that sold us!
Fresh crepes, cakes, ice cream, mini dessert pots, even cotton candy!






If only we could stay at hotels like this all the time!!


















The beach was deserted because of the jellyfish in the water.

You could get a manicure or massage on the beach if you wanted. There was also jet skiing, parasailing, ATV's to rent or horseback rides available.




The town of Georgetown was not amazing.

I have never seen so many rats in the streets as we did here! This place is going to get the plague!






A mixture of old, new and deserted buildings.














Everywhere where stalls sending all types of food.
Banana fritters, noodles, curries and fresh fruit.






On the plane trip home Ella was happy in the bassinet:)
