Another hot day but, as usual, the black clouds are looming!!
Our first visit today was to the Penang Botanic Gardens, established by the British colonial administration in 1884. Such beautiful flowers and trees.


Some very cheeky monkeys about

Just some of the flowers


















And a group photo

From the gardens we drove along the coast stopping to see the traditional batik weaving, dying and painting process.





Then back along the beautiful coastline and sandy beaches of Batu Ferringhi which was decimated by the Boxing Day tsunami.



Back into Georgetown to see the two Buddhist temples on Burma Lane, including the 33 metre long gold plated reclining Buddha.
