Bendera Hill, Penang

We adjourned to the next nature attraction after getting down from Air Itam dam...

this time is a more established place...the Bendera Hill (aka Bukit Bendera). I hav been to this place some 20 years ago when i was only a kid.

We tried out the new cable tram which they hav just replaced on last year...The fare to ride on this tram is MYR8 for locals (with MyKad/MyKid) or MYR30 for foreigners, for a return trip ticket.

It was a quick ride and the whole journey was amazingly smooth and fast!

i guess the Penang government has invested alot in purchasing this tram from a Swiss company!

btw, if u wonder how the very first tram looks like...this is it! The tram is completely made of woods, some hundred years back ;-)

There's not mch to be seen at the hill top except that if u want to visit the Owl Museum, which i think is overpriced...with nothing mch to be seen!

 anyhow, our purpose here is to savor the famous ice kacang (or known as 'ABC')...

 there are a few stalls operating at the food centre selling this same dessert...and at the same price!

so, we ordered 2 bowls to be shared among 4 of us!

 colorful display of the ice kacang...the kids gonna luv it!

 after a satisfied ice kacang ordeal, we went for a brief walk around the hill...

due to the haze...i can onli managed to see Penang in a very limited vicinity...

In a normal clear day, we can see Penang bridge from afar

adios Penang Hill...

till my next trip....(shall be another 20 years later...)
