8 February 2024 George Town: A Long Long Drive Back

 


What should have been a four hour drive dragged on for six hours.  There were many accidents and much congestion most likely due to the rain.  We had two sunsets, one in the mountains where the cloud level was so think and low that everyone needed to turn on their headlights.  The second one was when we were crossing the Second Penang Bridge.  SO glas we did not try to save money and rent a car!  Hats off to our driver.


Kuala Lumpur pedestrians


Monorail tracks


We will have to ride the monorail next time


Mosque with fun roof


Groovy!


A Ferris wheel in construction


Skies are clear for now


Gold dome of Mosque


Darker clouds!


Mist in the trees


Cloud layer descending



Here it comes


Rain!



A temple by a cave in the bluff


Tim mining here was a big thing


This is in Ipoh City


Huge amounts of rock were removed


A big crack in the bluff


Now cement is big business


Cattle Egrets


The second Penang bridge is over 12 miles long with 10.5 miles of it over water


Separate lane for motorcycles


Islands to the north


Floating fish farms to the south


We will not make it home before it is dark


More cycles


Almost to Penang Island


It seemed like we had finally made up some time but it was stop and go the whole way back to the apartment





It has been 1 year and 248 days since we began our Migration
