We continued our journey to visit an organic farm hidden amongst the urban sprawl of Penang. We were fortunate to see the beautiful lotus pond with flowers in full bloom. We also witnessed some funky science where essence was being extracted from Pandan leaves. Not only did we get to meet one of the farm owners but also a friendly Australian exploring the area too.
Drip coffee was served to us all. The beans were carefully ground and weighed to make the perfect mix. Very nice and very precise.
Next it was time for a dip in the pool to cool off. We had to borrow swimming hats as they were mandatory but the water temperature was just perfect.
After we had recovered from our 4 lengths of the pool, we caught the bus into Georgetown. We had registered for an evening walking tour which started at 18.30... However, we missed the start but managed to catch them up.
The tour was great. It took us around the old town, focused on British Malaysia and the colonial architecture that remains. Many stories were told of the town's history and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
What does everyone do after a very strenuous walking tour? Go to Little India to eat of course and that is exactly what we did! Vegetarian thalis and dosa helped fill us up.
At the bus stop we chatted to a lady from Malaysia about her time in Europe. She could certainly talk... but even though her visit to Europe was 20 years ago, she spoke with such enthusiasm and excitement!
It was getting late and there was no sign of the bus so we used a Grab taxi discount code to ride back to our accommodation for the same price as the bus.
