Posts From Malaysia

It is Thursday so it must be Malaysia. The day started inauspiciously as we had to run about 500 meters to the port building and the tour bus in torrential rain. But the day got better after that.

George Town is the capital of the Malaysian Island State of Penang. When approaching George Town by sea one is struck by the large number of tall buildings that crowd the township and nearby waterfront areas.

Today we were on the island of Langkowi, which is in Malaysia, and as you can see from the first photo below we arrived there at dawn.

There was no organized excursion today as the ship was scheduled to depart the port of Phuket at noon, so I stayed on board all morning and used it as an opportunity to "get organized". Nina however, went ashore to do some shopping at a small local shopping area and to do her daily walk in the port area rather than be constrained to the very small walking track on the ship.
