Penang Life - After the Dry

After 10 weeks without rain or without any clouds in the sky come to that, it is relief to see the black monsters back and unloading their lovely wet stuff on us.  10 weeks is a new record of dryness for the Malaysian Peninsular.   We want this record to stand for ever.  It has been unusually hot and humid over the 10 weeks, something I can live without, thank you very much!!!

It was still raining last night when we revisited the fish restaurant down on the beach at Gertak Sanggal which is as far as you can get with a car driving towards the south west of the island, and further from the madding crowds in urban Penang than you can imagine. Long may it remain so.

A tranquil spot to feast on steamed fish, crabs and prawns. Love these majestic trees that reach out over the beach towards the sea.
