Little Luke "Skywalker"

Pearl of the Orient

For our New Year 2007, J and I brought Little Skywalker on a trip to Batu Feringgi, Penang. It was more of a relaxation trip rather than a tourist-typed. We thought we would meet up with Michelle and Domestic Goddess, but it was not meant to be due to traffic conditions as well as the festive period.

Throughout our trip, we travelled mainly along the Gurney Drive area and Ayer Hitam. Among the places that we visited were the Fort Cornwallis, the famous Toy Museum (FYI, it's RM10 per adult), Island Plaza and Gurney Plaza. We did drove to Penang Hill, but the two hours wait for the cable car drove us away. We thought of visiting the Kek Lok Si temple but were turned off again by the traffic jam.

As for New Year's even, we had our New Year eve dinner at the Ship restaurant located at Batu Feringgi. The restaurant is an actual large wooden ship structure, which translates to more fun for Little Skywalker. He wanted to rotate the helm but it was locked up. After dinner, we went for a stroll at the street market along the main road along with other foreign tourists.
