Penang Day 2

It's my second day in Penang...Today we decided to rent a bicycle and bike from Georgetown to Gurney...We found the store and rent 4 bikes..My bike seems the newest but actually it's the most uncomfortable one....The seat is damn hard and it has no shifting system...

The traffic was quite full that time so we had to bike carefully..And actually it was my first experience cycling on the street..hehe..felt quite scary but after some time i could get use to it..I think it took us half an hour to get to Gurney..



























Finally we reached Gurney and took some photos along the seaside...The view was amazing and even though it was quite hot (1 p.m.) the wind blowing towards our face was refreshing...hehe..and we could see a cruise (probably star cruise) on the distance but my camera was not good enough to capture it...
























Grandpa Coli telling us a story about how he tried to catch a fish that caused him PHYSICALLY and MENTALLY TIRED (this term was popularized by Coli the Colang Colang when we were sipping wine beside the swimming pool)












Then next thing we do were getting inside the Evergreen Laurel Hotel and looked for the toilet..And we did what we do everyday: pissing and taking photos...haha...We wanted to go to the swimming pool but it was closed..haihz




satisfied with the toilet we biked along gurney drive to fill our stomach...
we tried the famous penang bak kut teh..

The bak kut teh was very delicious but i tell you don't order nasi keladi...


Then Andrew wanted to go to Batu Feringgih....it's 11 km to go man and we don't know which road to take so we bought a map...And we start biking..We had two checkpoint along the journey...It's really tiring especially on the mountain road..













Checkpoint 1















Checkpoint 2


And finally we reached Golden Sands Resort and take some picture on the beach behind the resort...We also drank coconut...Hmmm...very refreshing..hehe
But my ass was very painful...It's all because of that hard bike's seat....Even until now I still feel the pain in my ass..haihz




We made it!!!! Yeah!!!!


























We only stayed on the beach for about 1 hour since we wanted to get back to Gurney before it's too dark..It will be dangerous to bike on the mountain in darkness...So we rushed back and luckily the return trip was much faster than the previous trip...Finally we reach gurney with a lot of satisfaction, sweat, burnt skin, and pain in the ass....





We enjoyed the nice view of Gurney and then had our dinner in the famous Gurney Hawker Stalls (the place was damn crowded) and biked back to out hotel in Georgetown..Later that night I had another bowl of soup kambing before went to sleep...
