A Weekend in Penang

In hindsight, we probably shouldn't have gone to Penang. Phil had just had his appendix out and neither of us were really feeling it. But the flights were booked so we thought - why not.

Penang is a short flight from Singapore, in north-west Malaysia. It's famed for it's street art and local food and lots of colleagues had recommended it. 

We spent the first day walking around the city looking at all the street art which was excellent. We had a nice lunch and then were a at a bit of a loss of what to do next.  

The following day we wandered around, had some food and waited for our return flight. 

I'm sure Penang is lovely if you're in the right mood, but we certainly weren't. I would say it's a great place to stop by if you are on your way from A to B, but I wouldn't suggest going there for longer than a day.

I'm being super negative. The art was really very good - here's a few of my favourites:
