Views from the ferry
We boarded the ferry to Penang at 2.30pm for the 2hrs 45mins sail. It was a really nice sailing as, unlike the ferry to Langkawi where you had to stay inside the cabin, we were able to go outside, sit on the upper deck and enjoy the sea breeze - not for too long though or we would have been the colour of tomatoes. When we were arriving at the port in Penang we could see the massive Queen Elizabeth cruise liner, that was launched in 2010, docked there. We thought about asking for the price of a room for the night - yeah right - but instead we got a taxi to the Monkey Inn. We had no idea what it was going to be like as it only opened last September and we couldn't find any reviews of it. We had only heard of it as we seen it on a flyer that was lying around and thought we would take our chances. It was in Georgetown, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site, on the southeast of Penang where there is loads of budget acommodation. After a wee bit of a drive around as the taxi driver didn't quite know where it was, or because he just wanted enough time to tell us all the tours that he takes tourists on and how cheap he was, we got to the Monkey Inn.
