A Wander through Little India

09 March 2012 | Georgetown, Penang

This morning I wandered through the streets of Little India, whilst Alan stayed at the hotel with a painful knee, which walking makes much worse. I love the atmosphere of the Little India in Georgetown – the Indian music blaring out, the smells of joss sticks and incense, and the shops selling beautiful bright coloured saris. Certainly a taste of India!


At 2pm we were picked up from the hotel in the mini-bus to collect our visas from the Thai Embassy before we made the long drive back, once again through very heavy downpours and mad driving. However we did stop at a very nice Thai Restaurant on the way back with very clean toilets!! We arrived back in Phuket at 10.30pm, hoping that we don’t have to do the trip again!!
