Around Penang Island

Tropical Fruit Orchard

We went to a tropical fruit orchard and rubber plantation. This is a rubber tree.

A great view of the island.

And lots of little animals

I and others were intrigued by this incredible plant with its massive trunk-like foundation. We inspected it from afar, intellectualizing its make-up, then we went up and felt it. We were surprised to find a concrete column with a potted plant on top!

Monkey Beach

Heather and I went off on our own in search of some good hiking and relaxation. We found the perfect place, Monkey Beach, with hiking trails scattered throughout.

Heather and I bonded on our hike. She, also a non-practicing musician, wasn't afraid of all the unusual amimals. I was.

So this is why they call it Monkey Beach!
