살인 미소 - Sarin Miso : Penang - part 3 
 Took the local bus ( the morning ' s " How about renting a scooter ? " idea died an early death ) to Kek Lok Si temple - a mildly theme park - like , large , colourful Buddhist temple with great views over Georgetown . ( Photo courtesy of Tourism Penang . ) 
 Then via funicular railway up the 700 - odd metres of Penang Hill which seemed to take forever . The railway car was packed and noisy with a number of the island ' s nationalities and a sprinkling of tourists - pretty much an enjoyable moving zoo . 
 At the top , clouds were coming and going with rain in them , making the views over the edge at turns spectacular and then grey - white mist . We ( an insightful English - Australian by the name of Justin and I ) explored the surprisingly long Canopy Walkway 
 behind a group of Indian guys and girls who , out of sport perhaps , seemed to be trying to shake each other off ! 
 And a stroll down the hill , which must be the longest 4 and half kilometres I ' ve ever walked - soooo steep ! 
 The bottom of the hill provided a super - sweet cup of tea and a not unsurprisingly slow wander around the botanical gardens with the joggers and monkeys having no trouble overtaking us . After which , we returned to the guest house and I found two long - term travellers to talk to about earthquakes and tsunamis and Belgian beer . ..
