The streets of Georgetown in the rain.Well, we have made it out of Thailand. Our last day in Thailand was great; I got to see a sea urchin! (Photo later). It was just sitting in the shallow water, minding it's buisness. I would not want to step on one!
We took a taxi back to the port town and hung out there for the afternoon...and prepared for a long day of travel. A giant ferry shuttled us back to shore where we got to see an amazing sunset... and rain far away! We played rummy at the train station and hung out until our train arrived at 1am. It was crazy.... the train was wicked bumpy and noisy, and it felt like we were going to be flung off the rails at times! We were woken up abruptly and told to get all of our things so we could go through immigration into Malaysia. There were very specific dress code policies, about "hippy" that were not acceptable to be let into the country!
After our arrival here, we took another ferry to Pulau Penang. It poured and poured and poured. We walked around; there are really no sidewalks here and it is mostly stalls and shops. We had lunch at a place where we couldn't read the menu (thank God for guide books!) and then we went to Little India and of course, supplemented our small snack with some delicious Indian food. The place was alive with people; the food was so fantastic! We are up from a short nap and off to see what other delicacies we can find in this city of melded cuisine. Tomorrow we are off to an new location, at a historical mansion to see the sights in another part of the city.
Love to all of you and pictures soon!
