Penang City Tour

The day started with a funicular ride up a rather cloudy Bukit Bendera - Penang Hill to try and see the views across Georgetown.

The clouds cleared a little as we were about to descend do we could see some of the Vista. After we descended we boarded to bus to take us on a walking tour of the UNESCO listed centre of Georgetown.
