Penang Day 2

We woke up at 7.45am and headed for this super nice breakfast. Uncle C and Auntie H know where to find all the good food. Even jiejie enjoyed the breakfast. Didi took some coaxing but had sufficient to last him as well.  They aren't the best bfast people and usually took a while to get used to food in a different country.

We then went to visit this really big and famous temple after bfast and Auntie H already warned us that it would be hot and it was no-kidding-you hot! We had to climb this long flight of stairs to the temple and was already panting and sweating by the time we arrived at the temple entrance.  Then it was more climbing and climbing to the top of the pagoda. The climb up was narrow and the steps were so tiny. I was worried about the kids slipping and falling. But we survived. By the time we reached back to the bottom, my legs were threatening to cramp. I should have done warming up exercises before starting my adventure. We left the temple and Lil Isaac was fussing to be carried. Daddy Lim and I took turns and made it alive to the car. 

Next, we headed to the penang hill.

We took this tram up to the hill and the ride was fantastic. At certain point, the track was really steep. Lol Isaac thinks that we were on a roller coaster ride.

It was much cooler on top of the hill but there were too many butterflies for my liking though. The kids enjoyed running around. Nothing beats good companionship. These pictures were taken at the place where we had lunch.

After Penang Hill, we went to the Golden Sand Resort (by Shangri-La) kids' club. Our hotel is affiliated to GSR and we get to use their facilities for free. Hehe. But we were too late to sign up for the activities and the kids ended up in this indoor playground instead with these magnificent slides. I tried the scary ones ALONE bcos the kids didn't want to go for those with me. LOL. 

Of course i also tried the red slide. It doesn't really look like in the picture but it was like a vertical slide. Jumping off those slides took some courage but once off, it was pretty cool. Lil Shauna attempted the blue slide but refused to go after the 1st round.

Then we had swimming! Swimming is always good in the hot, hot weather. Just that we looked pretty burnt thereafter.

We met up with Auntie H's friend in the late evening who just flew in from Singapore for the weekend - Auntie A and family. Dinner was again great except for a grouchy boy who napped and was angry that his sleep was disturbed. 

We had a great day but also realised that Lil Isaac was limping again. He said that he tripped and fell over some gorgor but couldn't tell us clearly where and when. He said that it was a little pain and saw that his left foot was starting to swell. Poor boy. We got him medicated plaster and hoped that it would help him. We needed him to be well for the jungle trail the next day. I can't imagine carrying the tiger up and down the jungle trail.
