Last day in Penang

Well today we woke up and it was pouring rain so we decided that cruising around on a motorbike was maybe not the best way to spend the day.  We also didn't really have a good map of the area and the roads here are busy and a little confusing so we probably would have found ourselves hopelessly lost!  We decided to jump on the (surprisingly user friendly) public bus system to get to the Kek Lok Si temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia.  It was definitely beautiful and very impressive, although touristy, but we had a nice afternoon exploring it.  There is a huge 36m high Goddess of Mercy statue at the top that you have to take a fun cable car up to :>)

We have so enjoyed the Indian food here in Malaysia and since we are heading to Thailand tomorrow we made sure that we hit up one of the Indian restaurants for lunch today.  Dan headed off to see a movie tonight and I got to spend the evening and have supper with Nora.

So I guess this is Malaysia over and out...it's been great!!!

These little monkeys were all over the temple


On the way out of the temple...so many turtles!!
