Stop 84 @ Penang Hill

After having break at stop no.5, We all ready to move forward to hike the Stop no.84. It will take approximately another 50mnts to reach that stop. There are some trails paths, then We decided to get through the stop no.39 first to find our free hot tea, coffee or water. It's only about 10mnt to go to stop no.39. We continue our refreshing here, some chinesse hikers making some groups there to playing card, relaxing, or even just for talking.

I took some shoots of photographs from this 39 stop, the view from this stop look nicer. We are resting about 10mnts here then continue our hike to stop no.84. As we have enough time to refresh ourselves, now we ready to make further hiking.

The trail path looks fine, not really stiff but a little bit challenging. In about 40mnts we approached the Stop no.84. This stop managed by an old chinese man that keep saying "donation" "donation" put your "donation" please into the slot of thin. So the hikers, who want to have some tea/coffee or water and some biscuits, need to put some donation, 1rm, 2rm, as they wish.

We took some biscuits, hot drinks and put in some money for donation. We refreshing again at this stop about 15mnts. As usual I took some photographs for my blog. Next we ready to going down from the hill. The sky become darker and the heavy raining started. We need to wait the raining slow down before we continue our hiking down to the road. We are taking the trail path that will go to the Ayer Hitam road spot. It's about one and half hours journeys to going down plus extra times we spend to wait the raining slow down.

While we are arrived at the road of Ayer Hitam, it's still raining. Myself and drunkerhero doesn't have good preparation for this raining. We don't bring umbrella or raincoat as our other team have it. Then, it's no problem, we try to enjoy having bath with the rain, back to the childhood, feel free, playing and running under the rain.

We are waiting the bus to bring us back to our hotel at George Town - The backpackers area in Penang. We are getting inside the bus, feel wet and colder with Aircond bus. At 8pm we arrived at George Town, we stop and say goodbye each other. We promise to play Frisbee tomorrow afternoon... Wow.. what a good holiday.. playing all the times.. :) hehehe

Hiking on Penang Hill Stop No. 5

Hiking on Penang Hill (from Botanical Garden to Stop No. 5)

Quiet long time we are not doing hiking up the hill. It was about 2 months ago our last time hiking in lovely Penang Hill. We meet our hiking guide this afternoon, and he told us his plan to go hike tomorrow, and if I want to joint that will be great.

So the next day, we meet again at the "Pusako Padang Restorant" in George town, we have our good lunch there before starting our hike.


There are four of us in this hiking team. One is a NZ's lady, an active and fit lady. She has not never make up to the top of the hill yet.
