We are at KL Sentral and it is really early in the morning and today we are boarding a
train that is going to take us all the way up to Butterworth and from there we are taking
a ferry over to Penang.
I am super excited today because this my first time taking the trains in Malaysia.
Train transportation is by far my favorite way of getting around in any country.
It appears our journey today is going to be about seven hours, so we've got a nice long
train trip ahead of us.
We're on the train now and as you can see we've almost got the whole place to ourselves.
We've been on the train for an hour and a half now and we've already devoured all of
the snacks we brought along except for the peanuts, so we've decided to purchase a little
rice-y goodness over here.
Hungry boy, what are we having?
Well, we have fried rice.
Your favorite.
We are on a very exciting train journey.
We have been traveling for a few hours now and we are just crossing through the jungle.
I want to live in a jungle.
You seem like a jungle kind of girl.
Yes, in a shack in the jungle.
With me?
Maybe?
Whatever.
We're finally getting close to Butterworth here.
We've been on a journey that has actually been over seven hours.
The train is slightly delayed and it looks like we're about 20 kilometers outside of
Butterworth.
From there we are going to grab a quick bite to eat and then we're off on a twenty minute
ferry to get to Penang our final destination.
It has been a very long journey and how am I going to reward myself by eating Indian
food.
Oh yeah.
The first thing we're doing in Butterworth according to you.
We are.
I want Indian food.
Butter me up here in Butterworth.
Right over here is the Eastern Oriental Express train - one of the luxury trains that goes
all of the way from Singapore to Bangkok.
It is a train we both really want to take someday.
We are almost at our destination.
We are taking the ferry from Butterworth to Penang.
We're pulling in to the port now and this is the end of journey.
It has been a full day event.
We woke up at four AM this morning to work on blogging projects.
We left the guesthouse by seven.
We hopped on the train by eight forty and it is now almost five thirty.
We are completely knackered.
We are starving.
We are going to get a big plate of food.
I don't care what it is.
Indian food!
Whatever?
I don't care.
We're going to eat.
We're going to feast and we're going to drop off our bags wherever we're staying and we're
going to chillax the rest of the day.
