Sorry we have been a little quiet recently but we have been doing
nothing at all to update you all on. Just hanging around at Zackry’s,
maybe having a bit of a walk and then drinking too much with everyone
else staying there in the evening. In fact we had a real gang going
and we were just about the last to leave. It seemed quieter everyday
someone left and replaced by people who just didn’t join in as much.

We will miss Niamh, who was the best hostess ever – we’ve never seen
someone work so hard (& probably never met anyone so Irish and said
“jeysus” quite so brilliantly!). She’s an absolute star and looked
after us so well. It was sad to say goodbye today. But hey, we must
all move on.

We caught the ferry to Penang today, just after a game of bowling at
the jetty. We’re now in Georgetown. As the name suggests it’s an old
British colony but now it’s main areas are Chinese and Indian. So far
it’s a great town, especially the curry we had tonight after we were
invited into the kitchen to try some before chosing. Yummy!

We also randomly met Sara & Paul from Swizerland again (3rd time in
our last 3 places! Wierd) and so had a drink with them before bed.
Exciting day of exploring tomorrow.
