Penang Day Four

Last day. The plan was to visit Kek Lok Si and check out before that. An early breakfast then wash up and final packing, then it was check out and pay up. We reached there about 9+ and our car was able to park just right outside of the foot of the temple. This whole place is made up of several temples, a pagoda and you can go right up to see the tallest guan yin in asia or the world, can't remember.

To go the top of the pagoda, you have to climb the spiral stairs about 7 storey, as it gets nearer to the top, the stairs gets steeper and steps narrower. Going down requires careful steps as well. Then is up the inclining lift to see the "in progress" guan yin. You can see pillars are being built around the statue. At this area, there is also another temple where you can see the 12 animals statues outside.

And not to forget, quite a number of souvenior shops along the way. We spend about 1 hr plus here and about time to leave for lunch then airport. Decided to head to queensbay mall to eat canton-i, there was one open in ION recently. Though it is along the way to the airport, we also horlan a few times before we got there. Supposedly the wanton noodles are good, the wanton are huge with generous fillings no doubt, soup is clear and typical wanton kind but lacks the typical MSG. The meat combinations is quite good, especially the char siew which is fatty. Soon we have to rush to the airport for our 1505 flight and of course, need to horlan but still in time to go Petronas to top up the car before return.

Reached airport about 2 pm only to know flight was delayed again. All delayed ends delayed. Anyway, delayed better than miss.
