Day 49 - Georgetown, Malaysia

So we got up this morning and decided to get involved in some intense tourism, frog marching across Georgetown and taking in each of the major sights swiftly and efficiently, which was great as we had it covered in time for an iced latte at 11.00! - perfect

So having done the sights we hit the malls, which is another must for the area apparently!.. so by late lunch we had sussed that the 'Galaxy Note' is expensive here too, and that cheap asian rip offs are not worth the discounted rate.  All boxes ticked, we could now settle back and take in this foreign city in the way the Cole family seems to enjoy the most, perched on the front of a cafe, pub, bar or other such establishment, slowly getting lost as we meander about with minimum purpose.

Tomorrow we intend on going to a temple which is covered in live snakes, and then hit a butterfly farm... expect us to have this covered off by midday so we can slip back into Cole mode!

  2. Good for you going to the bombed McDonalds! Georgetown sounds nice. Look forward to hearing about snake infested temples and butterfly farms! Bott set off some fireworks last night for Emm's birthday. Astonishingly, no accidents. Can't believe you've been gone for seven weeks already. Seems like only last week we had that horrid moment at the Fox.

  3. Yes it was a rather horrid moment, but for us I have to say it feels like a completely different age! I think our brains and senses have been bombarded with such an array of different experiences, places and feelings that we cant really string it all together in the timescale it has actually happened in. (ooh I Like that - might just blog it1)

    You are in a bar and at 7 am I am always slightly jealous as it is a full 12 hours before drinking can commence for us. It is such an amazing adventure you guys are having, and I bet you are looking forward to the cruise.
    Love you and miss you
