Arriving in Penang

Today I got the bus from the local bus station to Aman Jaya at 9am.  I arrived just in time to get the 9:30am bus to Butterworth. It took about 2 hours.  I was the only passenger to get off at  Butterworth. I walked over to the ferry which took about it 15 minute to get across from the mainland to Penang island. It was just a car ferry with seats in the  middle.  When I arrived I got a taxi to the hostel. 

I went for a short wander and saw a little of Georgetown, which is where in Penang I am staying. I had lunch at a noodle cafe and had some really nice chicken in black pepper sauce noodles. They were really spicy though and made my nose run. 

I spent the day alternating between the hostel and wandering round. It was so so hot. I went to a cafe round half 6 and had chicken satay skewers for dinner. I wasn't really that hungry. 

At 8pm I went down to the hostel bar to get the two free drinks offered to all guests each night. Some of the girls I was hanging out with in the Cameron Highlands came and joined me and we spent the evening at the bar. We entered a beer pong competition and won the first game but were beaten in a close game in the next one. I eventually went to bed around 1am.

I apologise to anyone who read this post previously. I have no idea what I was on about....
