A Week of Getaway !! Day 1 & Day 2

Went to Penang with dear during my semester break on July. My last trip to Penang was 18 years ago? Hahaha.. I know it seems very long. Penang is a very nice and relaxing place to visit. We plan to visit Penang again, maybe next year?


Day 1: Batu Ferringhi (Hard Rock Hotel)
  1. Address: 11100 Batu Ferringhi Beach, Penang

Our very first meal when we reach Penang. We had our lunch at Hard Rock Hotel at their newly open Cafe that was introduced by their staff when we first reach there.  

Selfie is a must!! :D

 Mango and strawberry lassi

 Pasta (I forgot what is the name of this dish)

 Their famous pizza... 

Seafood spaghetti 

After lunch, it's time for us to check into the room. The room was awesome and our room is Poolsidde Lagoon. Which means, our room is located next to the pool. We can just open our balcony door and jump into the pool. 

 Before playing in the pool, we planned to walk around outdoor and snap pictures

 Sun-bathing? 

 Our selfie again

 My own selfie before jumping into the pool. I was sitting outside my room's balcony. This was my first time wearing bikini in public areas. Last time I wouldn't dare myself to wear because I got no confidence in myself. But after trying my best to exercise to keep my body, I at least tried the first move to put on a bikini. And I make it.  

Muscle man in action :p


 After swimming & it's time to bath, getting ready for dinner at The Ship


 The Ship!!  We took Hard Rock hotel's shuttle van to reach this area. They provide free transport from the hotel to the night market area every 30 minutes. So it's quite convenient for us. 


 Watermelon juice

Seafood Platter  


Grilled Chicken

Fish & Chip



Night view of our hotel entrance 

Good Night! Looking forward for Day 2 :)



Day 2: 

Woke up early in the morning to have breakfast at the hotel. Hard Rock hotel is famous with 'White People' because since the day I arrived at Hard Rock, I sees many 'White People'. I guess they like the environment there. Back to breakfast... The hotel's breakfast is awesome with lots of choices. After breakfast, we took a cab to the Toy Museum and Butterfly park because at Batu Ferringhi is quite difficult to catch a bus. Maybe because we don't know what is the bus routine at that area. 

First destination: Toy Museum
 Super Mario


 Monster Inc

 Batman



 What are you doing boy? 
There are actually a lot of pictures besides all these, but I don't think I need to post all of it here. If you want to see the other pictures which I took at Toy Museum, can add me at Facebook to view my Penang trip photo album 


Second Destination: Butterfly Park




Finally I get the butterfly to come to me. I tried many times, but the butterfly tends to fly away after few seconds landing on my finger. Hmmm... Maybe my skin is not sweet, that's why butterfly don't like me. 


After that, we went to Gurney Plaza for lunch at Dragon-i
 Mine

His

This chicken taste good... It's cook with chinese wine

Fried fish. I forgot what's the name for this dish.

Will continue on with the Day 2 evening activities in the next blog post.
