Penang Day 2

So, up for a late breakfast at 10 :-)  then off wandering...

It was super hot today so we were flagging by about 12pm.  First stop was an interesting Chinese Temple...because we've not seen enough temples in our 7 years in Asia!

Look mum...another temple!



I'ts all in Chinese!

Completely took Alex by surprise with this one!

We then carried on wandering through the streets...






Was very bright and very hot today!


Some pretty buildings in the old colonial part of Penang.
After a couple of hours of wandering the streets we deemed it just too hot to carry on much further and we dived into a nice air conditioned coffee shop.  Luckily it was also attached to a shopping centre, so we spent the rest of the afternoon looking around the shops :-)  Tomorrow me and Adrian are going to have a proper look around the heritage district - the kids weren't really interested and they are more than happy to have a day at the hotel tomorrow.  They have money for lunch and I think are looking forward to being free of the parents.  First time we've done this so hope all is well!  We'll only spend a couple of hours looking around the streets...but still!


It's hotter than hot and Christopher orders a hot chocolate!

Much more sensible iced drinks ordered by the girls.
 
 
 
So after lunch at the mall, and a lot of shopping, we headed back to the hotel.  Ended up getting back about 4pm - knackered and rather smelly! Looking forward to exploring some more tomorrow :-)  The kids are also looking forward to not being dragged around tomorrow!
