Took the first train up at 6:30am yesterday morning to go on my first visit up Penang Hill since i think my pcghs days where i used to hike up with the girl guides!
Anyway, I got all my gear ready and Ivan gave me a morning call at 5:30am. We were at the foot of the staion by 6am, bought the tickets and stick on our mozzie patch!
We boarded the first tram up at 6:30am, just the 3 of us in the first car! In the other car was just another pakcik and makcik (carrying their groceries up). All the way till the middle station, Ivan was looking out of the window and giving us running commentary telling at what height we were at! After the middle station, we change into the 2nd tram, which was completely dark! i just stole some time to catch 20 winks, Ivan got bored and keep wanting to drive, as maybe we were getting impatient as the sky starts to lighten up! After this seemingly long 10-15 mins, we finally reach the top. Yeah...
It's was really freezing cold...Very breezy and nice! Haha.. good thing i bought along a hooded jumper! And we happily set up our gear and all ready to shoot!
After snapping to our heart contents, we had breakfast at the hawker stall up there! As we were eating, suddenly Ivan Jumped! A huge dun know what insect landed on Ivan! err.. lots of trouble trying to get it off! Yee Fan helped him. Haha... Luckily it landed on him, if it was on me, i think i would have screamed till the cows come home. After filling up our stomach, we were hunting for more things to shoot. Came across some really gigantic spiders and huge webs! Another finding, insects are huge up there!
All in all, a really good outing!
