Well here we are at the Straits Quay Marina after all. We were on our way to Lankawi when we made a final phone call to John at the Straits Quay Marina and he told us that there was a berth for us for three days. Sounded good to us and in we went. Who says that persistence combined with whining and begging don't pay off because occasionally they do.
This is a really great marina and an equally excellent location. We got the salon A/C fixed with help of Mr. Kong who came by and replaced a faulty condenser for not much money. All is now cool on Callisto.
We ran around downtown Penang all day today doing the bones and stones tour. Lots of temples of the Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim and Christian variety and lots of museums and eateries as well. We think that Penang has so far been the high spot in Malaysia.
We did some shopping for expat dry goods today and tomorrow will visit some more Buddhist temples. Penang is truly a multi cultural place,too bad we will miss the Chinese New Year celebrations as they promise to be excellent but we have to move on on Saturday.
We are currently enjoying drinks at the Healy Mac's Irish bar where on Thusday nights cocktails are free for ladies. The Admiral is taking advantage.
Photos to follow.
