The PNP Experience (Part 1: The Journey is Part of a Trip)

pnp
stands for
perlis and penang
back from the 4 days trip
yesterday
a nice experience
i wont forget

day 1
the journey starts
from klang central
at 9.30am
when we reached kangar
its already evening
what to do along the journey?
many will say sleep
but i did not sleep much
most of the time
i looked outside
to enjoy the view
because to me
THE JOURNEY IS ALWAYS PART OF A TRIP
the north-south highway
is full of nice sceneries
credits to the highway builder
i saw
the city skylines of klang valley
the unique rocky landscapes before and after ipoh
the waterfall along the highway
the mining sites extracting granite from the rocky hills
the twists and turns around the mountain
and the tunnel after that
the factories of butterworth
the green paddy fields of kedah
and finally the highway ends in a small town called changlun
a night at kangar
also a small town
with not much entertainment
no saturday night fever whatsoever

day 2
went to kaki bukit
another small town under the hills
along the road
the scenery is my favourite
green paddy fields
with rocky hills as the background
what a place to escape from the busy city life
sitting in one of the rocky hills
is gua kelam
the first time i've been to a cave
batu caves not counted
next stop
padang besar
a town
at the borders
of malaysia and thailand
afternoon
took bus to penang
took ferry across the penang strait
checked in the hotel
not feeling well
bad cough sore throat
lost my voice
didn't go anywhere at night
took some rest in the hotel room

now i shall take a rest here
to be continued
in my next post
day 3 and day 4
