Straits Quay Marina, Penang, Malaysia

We are still at Straits Quay Marina in Penang but we will probably leave today and slowly meander down the Malaysian coast over the next four days down to Port Dixon. We have just returned from a short road trip to the Cameron Highlands about 250 kms. from here. The highlands are at an elevation of 4000 feet and were delightfully cool. We stayed at a wonderful little hotel called The Lakehouse in the company of the Kilkea's. The hotel was built in Tudor style by an ex-British army colonel in the sixties. The weather has definitely changed and we have had quite a bit of rain but the upside is that it is much cooler

Straits Quay marina is north of Georgetown and quite small. It is surrounded by a high end mall.
