MALAYSIA - THE PRESENT ASIA (continued, part 2) Since almost everything was closed on Sunday, we decided to spend the day in the botanical garden, which is close to Penang Hill ( Thank God, the garden was opened). We sat on one of the buses (transport, surprisingly, had a pretty decent sort), who went to the botanical garden. Access to the institutions conducted simple input, which emphasized a few stalls who sold soft drinks, fresh fruit, peanuts and a variety of snacks for visitors to the garden (mostly local). We went inside (with the input of charge) and saw a small tram, travel on which cost two ringgit for each (approximately 1.17 Canadian dollars for two people), but quickly realized that it's a waste of time. The trip lasted about 15 minutes, tram rolled slowly along the main track, and then back to the entrance. But the benefits of tram still was. During the trip we were able to figure out where the main attractions of the garden. For 1.17 U.S. dollar - quite good! We bought water and a package of fresh-cut apples to feed the uppity monkeys, which we noticed during a trip to the boat. So, we went to look for them. Macaque and pack apples in the garden in some bushes rosshey near a small river, which winds through the garden, lived a flock of rhesus monkeys. Approximately 20-30 monkeys (as we have been able to count) were resting on rocks and trees near the river. They frolicked in the water and looked at the tourists, who in turn looked at of them. "What are these strange tourists!" What are they funny! We fed apples which I had, the larger monkeys (a small, seemed to hesitate, or fear not the people, not like their larger cousins). We walked the garden in about an hour, during which we saw the stunning beauty of flowers and cacti, and found a small part of the coast of the river, which was dominated by wildlife. "And over there in the pocket of an apple ..." After several hours spent in the botanical garden We decided it was time to assemble in the reverse way, if we do not want to be in the middle of an unfamiliar city after dark. was justified in the hope to sit down again on the same bus that brought us here. Under the influence of some sudden impulse, after waiting 5 minutes at the bus stop, Scott suddenly decided that he knows how far away we are, and told me that we can walk for half an hour before dark to get there. We went in on the road that ran along the river. Y I suspect that we were not where Scott thought, and that the trip would take much longer than half an hour. Georgetown Our tour lasted an hour and a half already, we have become a little deeper into the city. In the streets around us were mostly local residents, who, sitting on benches, enjoying a meal outdoors. In addition, we encountered huge beautiful high-rise buildings that are reminders of home (the western part of Vancouver). Our route went past the local cemetery, where lie the remains of the discoverers of the island of Penang. It was the Protestant cemetery, which was effective from the end of XVIII and the beginning or middle of the XIX centuries. The cemetery was very scary, but it was interesting to see the old graves of people who lived, when the island was still a British colony. Some of the graves was listed in 1794 (can you imagine? !). When at last we reached Chinatown, we had dinner at a bar before retiring to a hotel and a good sleep. Start material: < Продолжение материала:
