So I made it to Penang, Malaysia after 2 and a half gruelling days of travelling.
Sydney to PerthMy flight was at 6am so I opted to sleep overnight at the airport. They actually close the terminal at night so I had to sleep outside on a bench. I thought "loads of people sleep on benches all the time. Think of all those homeless people". I did not sleep a wink.
Perth13 hrs to kill so I basically caught a bus into the city centre found a park and laid there for a few hours. You have to be careful when sitting under the trees though. There are these pretty colourful parrots and I'm sure their aim is to shit on you whenever someone sits under a tree. I found out the hard way! There was a music festival going on in a nearby park so some free music. Not bad.
Singapore
So my flight arrived into Singapore at 3am and the trains to the main train station didn't open till 6am so I had to kill time. I found a nice floor and attempted to sleep rather unsuccessfully.
Singapore to Butterworth, Malaysia
urgh, so ill with no sleep by this point. Dying. And I have recently discovered that I have lower back problems so can't sit for prolonged periods of time and I get butt ache if I sit too long as well. With all this travelling my back seems to be getting worse so I find it hard sleeping sitting up.
14.5 hrs on the train. Arrive into Butterworth 1.5 hrs late. Catch a ferry to Penang and meet Netty and Simon at Hutton Lodge. 'Need beer'!! Hurrah!
