Arrived safely in Penang and reunited with Ellie and Katherine following a slightly hairy car journey from the airport. Rule of the road appears to be simply about getting from A to B as fast as possible, made more hairy by being undercut and over cut by motor bikes.... Before of course the race stops at the next traffic lights. To help the Grand Prix feel at some traffic lights there is a countdown timer just to help the drivers and motorbikes get ready for a speedy start (to the next lights).
We wondered if Nic would be better off driving in a Mario Cart outfit!
It was great to meet up with the girls in Nics car park as they even volunteered to help carry our bags to Nics super snazzy apartment.
It's a 17th floor all mod cons apartment 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and an American fridge vital for keeping water cold as it's very very warm in Penang 30 degrees and high humidity.
E, K immediately took Joseph off for a swim.
After that we went out to a banana leaf restaurant which we had longed for as one of our best memories of Penang from when we were last here in 1993 was fabulous curries eaten directly off banana leaf instead of a plate. The roti was particularly delicious.
From then we were keen to sleep, and collapsed into bed knowing little else until woken by the mosque at 5am. It's Eid today so a public holiday.
There may be no photos until we return as we are taking photos on a camera and there is no obvious way therefore to upload on to the IPad where I am completing this blog
