We went to Penang Hill today. Wake up about 7.30AM. Then start moving from my house to Penang Hill and reach there about 8.15AM. Saw a bunch of kids.. Most probably a school visits.. Damn noisy!!
We went straight to the counter to buy the ticket. This is what the main entrance to the ticket counter looks like..
Just beside this building, there is a small fountain.. Have to wait for the bunch of kids to finish taking their pictures then only we got our turn.. But anyway, we met a very nice family that offer to help us to take photo for us.. Well...its still early in the morning, so we look kinda still sleeping. Hahaha..
After bought the ticket, we must go and wait in a small waiting area for the train.
The railway was built in 1923 and it takes about half an hour to the top. I quickly take a photo once I get into the train as there is many many many people come rushing in!!!
There is about 5 to 6 station en route to the top of the hill. We have to change the train in the middle of the trip as the train route is seperated into two. This is what we see before reaching to the top..
Just minutes before reaching the top, we saw a tunnel.. Just a short one.. About 20 meters long only..
After aboard from the train, I use a binocular to have a view of the whole Penang Island..
We are very hungry at the moment and is looking for food up here. Just wondering what kinda food we can get here.. There is some stalls here once we exit this station.. But only sell drinks..
As we walk I can actually see the whole Penang from here!!
Got a few interesting places here to be walk around here actually. The first is the De Canopy walk.. But unfortunately, it is closed for maintenance!!!
Have a Botanical Garden and a Tea Shop.. But must walk about one and a half hour from here to get there.. So my decision is just find some food nearby is sufficient for me.. Hahahaha
As I walk, I found a Mehendi stall!!! Right up here in Penang Hill!! But I just ignore it since I am not interested doing here at this moment. Then saw a stall selling grasshopper.. Fake grasshopper made from Cogongrass.. RM1 each..
Finally!! We saw a place!! Food stalls!!! Charge!!!!
But only a few choices of foods only.. A nasi lemak stall, nasi tomato, roti canai and a few drink stalls. No choice.. Just take a simple nasi lemak and nasi goreng kampung here..
There is a wooden train just beside this food stall.. Actually doesn't know what exactly this is for but I just went up and take a few pictures here.. Hahahahaha..
After some short walk, we finally run out of gas and just wanted to go back and rest..
On the way back just took a picture of another train take come towards us the opposite way!!
But luckily the train didn't collided as there is two rail line for it.. Heheheh.
It's 12pm when we reach back down here.. If you are an adventure type and like to walk around, you can sure spend a lot of time up there.. Lastly, I don't recommend this place for lazy people like me as I can't walk long!! Hahahaha!!!
