3 May 2025 – Penang

Quiet morning, sat round the pool and read my book, a walk around the mall and lunch with the group.

Penang Island state is situated in the Malacca Strait and its capital is Georgetown, which is a Unesco World Heritage site.

Down near the waterfront is the war memorial and city hall.

We walked along Chew Jetty, where there are many stalls and houses built on stilts on top of the water.

We were all very brave and tasted the durian fruit, renowned for its bad smell and banned from all the hotels!

We saw a little heron busy fishing

Masjid Kapitan Keling Mosque, the oldest  mosque in Penang and founded by Indian Muslim migrants in 1801.

Goddess of Mercy Temple, a Buddhist temple in Georgetown.

St George’s Church, the oldest Anglican church in south east Asia
