The final countdown - Part 2

Having arrived at the Chee Seng Gardens home of the "Thin Aunt", we were all taken out to eat.

From the other posts about the Elk's Street visit to Malaysia it should be becoming clear that Malaysians' favourite hobby is eating, and then eating more. And Penang is the food capital of Malaysia. For short travel videos about Penang food, click here and here.

This time we were taken to eat an an Indian restaurant, Sri Ananda Bahwan. The evening didn't go entirely smoothly as Henry drank two Mango Lassi drinks on top of some, for him, spicy food and consequently got stomachache!

The next day was a family trip to the beach, organised by Lai-Peng.

As we set off a little late and the sun got very hot very quickly, the pale northerners left to cool down in an air-conditioned shopping centre. While H-M did her shopping, the boys had coffee and fruit juice in The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf café, and hung around patiently.

Then it was back to the flat for a short rest before the evening's family banquet.
