Penang Flamingo By The Beach

Was initially scheduled to visit Vietnam on end April, but my leave got rejected, and I had to settle for a week's break in my home town of Penang instead, which isn't actually a bad thing :) I know I haven't actually completed uploading my Europe photos yet, but what the heck, I'm gonna be blogging about Penang instead for the rest of this week at least :) And nothing says holiday like when you're kicking off your slippers in a hotel room by the sea :P

First entry, the relaxing beaches of Penang. Managed to stay at Flamingo by the Beach at Tanjong Bungah Penang for 4 days 3 nights booked via HotelClub at SGD90 per night for a Sea View room. Nothing melts away the stress faster then a walk along the beach every morning after breakfast. 

Here are some pictures taken from our hotel room, showing the shorelines of Tanjong Bungah.

 And some pictures taken from the pool side of the hotel just next to the beach.On a clear day, you can see the mighty Gunung Jerai on the horizon. The view is just stunning.

Our daily activity after breakfast daily, walking along the beach with our feet in the water :)

Can't wait to go back in September :)
Won't mind staying at the same hotel again as they provide wifi not only at your room, but almost everywhere else in the airport. Free shuttle services are also available twice a day to Gurney Plaza or Prangi Mall downtown, as well as a night shuttle to the Night Market at Batu Ferringi.You can also get a shuttle to the airport for RM15(SGD 7) per person from the hotel. And the public rapid bus stops just in front of the hotel. What more can you ask for?

Btw, all photos taken for this trip is from my Frodo (a.k.a HTC Desire) :P Not bad eh?
