Penang on the West coast of Malaysia

{w:400;h:300} Penang on the west coast of Northern Malaysia!!!!

Pulau Kecil Perhentian - The small island

17/04/08 Getting the boat from the jetty at Kuala Besut was easy and very straight forward. It all seemed arranged to almost military accuracy. There are apparently no slow boats running any more and the fast boats leave regularly. Tehya enjoyed the ride over, with big smiles - she said the wind kept going [...]
