The ultimate prep

This time I had to get some extra prep via hospital to make it to our next holiday: I picked up a nasty stomach bug from somewhere (luckily just me) and by day 3 I was actually asking to go to the hospital. I had nothing left and our departure was looming! Day 2 of IV made me feel slightly better...

Cultural Heritage of George Town

Our last stop on our latest holiday was George Town on Penang. I hadn't really heard of the island, nor the town before moving to South East Asia but it rose as a potential holiday destination from a suggestion from our friends. Especially the old British colonial influence and the Chinese culture and architecture started really interesting me as there is very little of culture around in Brunei. I fancied a bit of that alongside our regular beach holiday destinations - and the fact that Penang is known as the food capital of Malaysia didn't bother me either!

Langkawi - sailing the Andaman sea

As part of our recent holidays we visited Langkawi, the Pearl of Kedah. We fancied a bit of beach time in between city and culture (Singapore and Georgetown). And there aren't many places as famous for its beaches as this island.
