We did not really look forward to the trip as I worked pretty late, (overnite in the last 2 nites) during the last few days before the trip, busy over a project. Thus did not have much time planning the route and places of interest. My wife, Carol, also did not pack until the nite before. For those who knows her, she normally start packing weeks before a trip.
Our flight was at 12:50 pm. So it was a slow bus+MRT ride to the airport that day.
Arrived in Penang Airport, and took a airport cab (RM$44.60) to the hotel, Cititel Penang. The hotel was recommended in a Travel TV show. Located centrally in Penang Road.

We went at 1030 am to Blue Mansion the next day. Manage to join the 11 am Guided Tour.
We then made our way to try the famous Laksa. This is the one near the Lek Lok Si Temple.
