Balik Pulau means the other side of the island, apparently. Well the bus trip of 40 mins on the 401E, (plug for Rapid-Penang), up and over the hills is quite something and gives you the feeling of going over to the other side!!! It is Durian time and they are everywhere at the moment. I didn't realise how many grew on one branch, never mind on the whole tree. A walk in the forest becomes very hazardous with Durian trees a round. Nice Church too.

We also met Mr Fong Ten Sent a silversmith. He is 68 years young. I bought a couple of silver miniatures from him. See http://david-dollhouse.blogspot.com/. He has a miniature wok and burner in silver which I will get on our next trip.
