Out & about

Yesterday it was time to get out of Georgetown and check out some of the local area. First of all I took the bus out to Batu Ferenghi,a beachside town about 16km from Georgetown. I was thinking about staying here so was curious to see if I'd made the right decision and yes, I had. The town was a strip of shops, cafes, massage spas and tailors and the beach was pretty small, very grainy and the water was very murky (possibly due to the large number of jet-skis for hire). To be fair I was there in the middle of the day so a lot of things were shut, and I was also there for a tropical downpour
There's a night market there every night so I'll revisit before making any hard judgements.

After that I continued along the road to Teluk Bahang, a fishing village and national park. This was more like the Malaysia I'd heard about

There's apparently some good hiking in the national park, so that's down for one day of my agenda before I leave.
