Could see Kek Lok Si Temple. Used zoom lens to take this picture
After breakfast, we decided to head for Bukit Bendera for some bird's view over the island. I've never been to Penang Hill for at least more than 10 years. I remembered i was very young when I went to Penang Hill with my parents. We took a wrong turn and ended up in Queen's Bay Mall in Bayan Lepas. Jst took a stroll in the mall . Den we headed back to Bukit Bendera as we have planned earlier.
We reached there around 1.20pm. Queued up for the train tickets up to Penang Hill. At the ticket counter, I saw the sign "Ticket sedang dijual adalah untuk Train Jam 3.00pm". That means that my train ride up to Penang Hill is at 3pm -.-"
It's only 1.40pm, and what are we gonna do there for one hour and fifteen minutes?!!!
So we headed to Air Itam Market for Asam Laksa!! We planned to have lunch there after Penang Hill, but because we were hungry and no point wasting time there to wait for the train, we went for our lunch to kill some time off!

Back at the train station...
Train was so freaking packed till I could not even move my hands to snap some pictures... so did not have any pictures on my ride up and down from Penang Hill..
Ever wondered why is it called Bukit Bendera??
The answer is because during the ruling of British in Malaya, the British would raised their national flag at the peak of this hill every morning. That's why local started to name it Bukit Bendera.
At the peak of Penang Hill @ Bukit Bendera.

I know... I am missing the wide angle lens :(
Zoom-ed in on Komtar, and I found my hotel too!After some bird's eye picture of the island, took some pictures of the flora and fauna on Penang Hill..
It was almost 5pm when we reached back to the foot of Penang Hill. What's next? Benny took us for a famous cendol downtown but it was so good that I did not take any pictures of it -.-" hahaha.
