Our Cruise Trip- Day 2 @ Penang

Today was the 1st port-of-call of our trip: Penang. The small town was recently listed under UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their architecture n history, of cos there is more!

Had a Buffet Lunch before we could go step on Penang soil.. we chose to sit @ the open-air tables to enjoy e breeze!

we caught this small ship helping in refueling oil

Time to set off!! Since Penang's waters were too shallow, we had to take a Tender Boat from our ship which would ferry us to Penang jetty, just less than 10min away.. Boy, first time experiencing this way of disembarking.. so cool lor..

on e tender boat.. sth like a ferry :0

From the big ship to e small boat

I took pics of Virgo fr our tenderboat.. nice nice view from the various angles as we moved further away!!

More of us on the mini-boat ~ e sun was soo glaring!

Our first close-up glimpse of Penang fr the jetty :)
