Bad Monkey! Baaad Monkey!!!
Well, while we wait for the Thai consulate to go through our documents, we had some time to wonder around Pulau Pinang. After asking the Taxi driver for a cheap hang out that is kids friendly, we decided to visit Bukit Bendera (Flag Hill in Malay).

So we started to clime up the 2450 ft hill.... or a mountain with 2 kids on our back.

Ok, so we cheated and took the train up the hill... actually that's the only means to go up for tourists.

The view from the top of the hill was just wonderful. It was overcast, so we could not see too far away, but it was still beautiful.

We got to see some wild animals as well... after being in Thailand, our new belief is that we like the wild in the wild and we don't really care to cross over to where they live... but here it is again. This time, a monkey. This monkey seem to be used to seeing people, and decided to come to about 2 ft away from us... while showing off it's nice fangs.... yeah, nice.

By they way, I have never seen so many big, well built European man running that fast as when they saw the monkey...

Cheers - Sergio
