Penang Hill Again we Hike
Welcome to Penang Hill!
Slowly.. slowly.. but continuously.. that's the advice from the hiking expert Mr. Dadash.. the Iranian.. which already hike the highest mountain in Teheran called "Darmawan mountain" with 5000meters more height.
Then we start our entry for Penang hill from the youth park. We supposed to meet another hiker fellows but because we are late reaching the meeting point then They went up first. Only two of us are hiking. To avoid lost in the jungle :) hehehe.. I prefer the common paths or just follow another hiker fellows. The plan is working, event we are both but we meet another Chinese hiker that going up together.
First stop no.3.. we passed through. We stopped a while here.. to shoot some photos and a short rest. Next stop no.5.. wow.. look easier.. we already passed by no.5, just took some photos and decided to continue the next stop 39 or 84 directly.
I have set in my mind in the beginning that I just want to hike on the half way, until 84 stop.. but I change my mind.. Though it's not bad idea to go further to the top, as my friend never being there yet. There are more beautiful views from the top.
So then we decided to use the tar road/main road as to get faster to reach the top rather than using the jungle tracks. The tar roads seems hard.. and stiffs and a bit boring :) hehhe.. but we keep walking.. slowly slowly and continuously. From 84 it's take less then 40mnts to the top of Penang Hill.. finally.. we are here.. in the Penang Hill.. eventually.. survive at the Hill :) and Welcome dadash at Penang Hill :)
We have a look around the hills, the temples, the mosques, and the surroundings. Always nice and great views from the top. We took some photos.. resting a little bit on the tops. There are some Arabians tourists and Indians who enjoying the Penang Hill's sceneries.
After resting we got ready to get down from the hill.. there is no train service yet operated. So, we have no option unless going down using our foot machines:) Then.. we start our engine.. and going down easily.. easily.. one .. two .. one two.. event hard to stop.. we just follow the steps rhythm down and talking talking.. until we reach the bottom entry just beside the botanical garden..!! then Goodbye Penang Hill.
We are get ready to catch our bus and going back to G'town area to watch the AFF games. Oupsss finally we did it .. see it's work the Dadash's mottos.. slowly slowly and continuously..
A little bit adventurous at Sg.Tekun
Saturday, X'mast afternoon 2010.
A sudden plan to engage in a bit adventurous outdoor at Penang National Park. Our initial plan to visit the monkey beach.. but but.. due to the delay of our arrival and limited time we have, then we decided only to go to Sungai Tekun beach area! It's only about 500meter from the entrance points.. hehehe.. very close.. huh.
So, we passed through the path and easily arrived at.Sg. Tekun.. almost no adventurous at all ;) easy easy.. easy.. :) To create a little bit challenges, on the way back.. Dadash.. suggested to go through the beaches exit. Look fine for me.. then we tried the new exit.. just follow the sea side, jump from one rock to another rock..to reach our entry point.
Well, it's sweating enough!! not bad.. although we spent more time on the bus to reach and back to our place rather than on the Sg. Tekun's spots itself. We only spent less then one hour there.. and prepared to get home. The outdoor will continue as on Sunday we plan to hike the hill.. Penang Hill.. we are coming !! !!
