Objective: see if our Bike Dolly can make it to Penang (P.Pinang)
Coffee break @ Pagoh 147km. Having espresso.
Toilet and coffee break @ Dengkil R&R Our "DOLLY"
After a passing shower, the scene was beautiful. Clear way to Penang. Kept having to put on and off our rain gear.
Paid toll for Dolly RM1.40. The Penang bridge was beautiful at Night. The after work peak hours had the bridge packed with vehicles. Reaching George Town- phobia not knowing the way. Saw the landmark STARCOM building; ride toward it should bring us to town. Before looking for lodging, must deal with emergency- Hunger. How to look for Char Kwey Teow?? Easy- let one nose take over. Smell like char kwey teow then stop for food.
Finished one plate; ordered another.
