On the same day going home from Penang, i decided to stop by Cameron Highlands since it just on the way back.

Got not much time there since it was late afternoon already and most of the park close by 4.30 pm - 5 pm. So i just manage to visit the Boh Tea Farm and the Strawberry Park.

It’s been a ages since my last trip to Penang back to my primary skool time. Gosh Penang changes so much since last time, i hardly remember the roads. But the island wasnt big, its easy as because signboards are everywhere. You wouldnt get lost in Penang.

on the way to Georgetown…

Yeah i guess weather in Penang is much more hotter than KL. I get sweaty in just few seconds after my first few steps on to the land. The roads there was easy but sometimes i get confuse by so many Jalan Sehala turning.

At first i thought my friend bringing me to stay in some hotel nearby Gurney there but it was an INN in the end.

Hotel Good Hope Inn

At RM90 per night, i couldnt ask more for a nicer stay than this. It got everything just like a normal hotel inside. Free car park, water distiller, 2 single beds, airconditioning, TV with astro and bathroom towels etc. It was just nice for budget travellers like me. :)

The statue of Guan Yin that guard the whole island

The view here was magnificient. Can see the whole side of Penang to the bridge (sounds like a bit kua cheong already). I wont post the view here, i let you guys climb up and see it yourself. :)

The place is still undercontruction as the people still building a shed for the statue. Yeah i lend some "hand" donating a small piece of roof for my godmum. Oops i forgot to take a snap on the complete structure poster.

my name on the roof shield

After all the photo snapping and god worshipping and wishes and site seeing, its time for lunch! You cant miss out the famous asam laksa from Penang that everyone talk about. Im sure everyone knows where it is located right? :)

Dsc02248

cant wait to stuff this into my stomach~

I found something also just as nice as the laksa. It’s the tofu selling just beside the asam laksa stall. Wah i tell you.. this is the smoothest dry tofu i ever tasted.

close up of the tofu…yum yum

They said gurney is so happening already with cafes and pubs just like jln P.Ramlee during saturday. I forgot the place call what name but i remember its near to a english graveyard. You can notice many cars park all over the places when you nearby there.
