Penang: A Brisk Walk through the Historic Town

WE Started by train and air to Langkawi,

then headed toward Penang 

from Langkawi:

                     
    boarding a  Ferry

 in a sunny afternoon, 

Hey,Here we go ! We were in cabin seats for 3 hr boat-ride, 

that's G R  E   A     T      !

We were not seasick at all, landed safely to the Penang Jetty:

                                               

The historical Clock Tower greeted us,after a few minute walk westward from the Jetty;

..........

then marched to the Fort Cornwallis,

                                                                                                                       next to the tower:

P.S : I was captured inside the Magazine where explosives were kept in old days .
