After 6 days spent in Penang, well, in Georgetown which is the capital of the Penang island, we are moving again towards Thailand where we should be in 2 or 3 days time. We did not visit all the island. I thought I would spend a day or two cycling around but I got lazy. The back of the islnd is apparently very hilly so it cut off any motivation. I should have find the way to leave my trailer somewhere. Anyway, we visited the historical centre which was okay. Today we left Penang at 5pm and cycled just out of Butterworth city to find a quiet place where to camp. Easy day.

That’s it! We are in the ferry again back to the Malaysian peninsula. Surprisingly the return is free of charge compared to the 1.40 Ringgit for the way towards Penang. That’s good news :-)
There is not much people now but for sure they will come.
Let’s cross those 3km at 12km/h which means? 15 minutes of navigation :-)
Nearly there.
We are back on the country side. There is nice rice field around.
Some more rice fields.
One more :-)
Close up on one crop.
Ok OK last one.
The sun is already low, we will stop for dinner very soon and then find a place where to sleep.
Finally we end up in a small town where we found something to eat. Then we cycle few more kilometres and stopped in a village where there is a tiny park and a roof, the perfect spot for quiet nice. Good night!
Ah ! des rizières … y avait longtemps !! Beau coucher de soleil !!
Hello brother – I like the pictures that you have taken of Penang.
It’s always nice to see the nature after the city visit.
You’ve been lucky with the weather!
