Georgetown – Penang – Peninsular – Malaysia
Penang Georgetown
On my Southeast Asia and Peninsular Travel Tour 2007 I spent some days in Georgetown on Pulau Penang. I was coming from Cameron Highlands by Bus to this big City in Malaysias Peninsular. I don’t saw so much from Pulau Penang Island, actually I spent my time just in Georgetown to explore the City. My Guest House was the Swiss Hotel wich offer simple rooms with a Bed, Fan and shared Bathrooms for 17 Ringit. Two times I come here for a Visa Run from Thailand, than I was Staying at the Malibu Cafe Hostel in the Lebuh Chulia Road in the Heart of Georgetown. The Oasis Hotel, 75 Travllers Lodge and the Cathay Hotel are as well good addresses for Backpackers and Travelers from around the World.
Mosque in Georgetown
Coco Island Travellers Corner is a good address to share some experiences with other Travelers in Malaysia. The main Sights in Georgetown are the Fort Cornwallis, the Penang Museum and the Kapitan Keling Mosque. Georgetown is as well famous for the big Shopping Center direct in the Centre. From here you have many option to Travel, the buses from the Bus Terminal go to many places in Malaysia and from the International Airport a bit out of the Center fly many Air Asia Planes to many Destinations in Southeast Asia. On my Peninsular Backpack Tour I took a Ferry to Pulau Langkawi. For more Info about the Island Penang and Georgetown read the Lonely Planet for Malaysia or South-East Asia.
