4.00I learned a lot about Penang and he took me to interesting stops which I enjoyed but initially was surprised I was on my own at stops. I wished we had been able to stop or pullover to be able to get photos especially of Georgetown. I managed to get only a couple of shots from moving car.
Wonderful day
