We've just spent three days in Georgetown, decidedly our favourite city in Malaysia. With so much colonial history still present, it has a distinctly european feel to it. And, the traffic is a little calmer - in fact, the whole city is a little more laid back than KL or Meleka were. We are feeling like we've hit our stride, as far as travelling goes. It helps, too, that the climate is a little cooler and our hotel, Cathay Hotel, is so comfortable and charming; it's a 100 year old mansion that was once home to a very wealthy chinese family. All in all, we've been having a really fantastic time in Georgetown and we will miss Malaysia too, although we're looking forward to the Thai cuisine...
Tomorrow morning, at 5:00am, we are departing for Thailand. We plan to spend a few days in the Krabi area before moving north to Ko Phayam, where we hope to be spending Christmas. As we are not totally sure of the internet access availability there, this may be the last posting for a week or so.
Take care everyone - feel free to leave some comments for us!
