Looking down going up. The
Penang Hill Funicular Railway has been operating since 1923. The hill top is 833m above the sea and is noticeably cooler than down on the coast
The day was a little hazy but across the strait is Butterworth. The tall tower on the right is the Komtar, still the tallest building in George Town. To the left of the picture is Gurney drive. The new high rises are very thin, somehow emphasising their heights.
A top the hill is an Indian temple and a Mosque.
And a little wild life. This little fellow changed colour as we watched. He also threaten us with an inflated throat pouch. Cheeky.
We were quietly having a spot of lunch, relaxing, taking in the George Town vista when the restaurateur pointed out that we had company. Above our heads. Well not directly but close enough!!! Pit viper apparently. Nice chap with a triangular head. I think Sarah might recognise them?
