Bukit Bendera Menggamit Kenangan ;p

Mula2, breakfast dulu kat hotel...


Makanan memang pelbagai, dari western, nasi lemak, mee, pastries.. tinggal larat ke tak larat je nak makan. Tapi aku tak ambil gambar2 makanan sebab segan. haha. kan ada yang mengutuk.. ambil gambar nak masuk blog kerr? hahahaha..


Lepas tu destinasi kami adalah Bukit Bendera... 


Penang Hill History:

Just like Frasers Hill, Bukit Larut and other hill stations in Malaysia, Penang Hill was a favoured destination by the British in the late 1800's, who seek reprieve from the humid tropical climes. One of the earliest hill stations in the country, it is believed that Francis Light himself first trekked up Penang Hill from the grounds of the current Penang Botanical Gardens way back in 1788. Later, some of the British colonials of the time made their way up, using single-passenger sedans carried by at least six coolies. In the mid 19th century, a few bungalows were built by the British for private use. These include the Bel Retiro, Convalescent, Grace Dieu and Fairmont.

The Penang Hill funicular railway (railway operated by cables which counterbalances the ascending and descending train coaches) was completed and began its operations in the mid 1920's. The simple carriages originally used by the railway were replaced with four modern coaches in 1979. One of the old carriages can still be seen today at the Penang Museum, used as the Penang Heritage Trust souvenir kiosk.

Masa aku belajar kat matrik Penang dulu, aku dah pernah datang sini. Masa tu, kami ramai2 sewa bas nak pusing2 pulau (pulau pinang). Memang seronok sangat. Semua yang pergi semua satu 'kepala', memang happening la.. 


Setelah bertahun2 tak jejak kaki ke sini, rindu gila nak datang.. Mungkin certain orang cakap tak ada apa yang menarik pon kat sini.. Tapi aku rasa untuk yang family dan ada anak2, memang ok la sebab kat atas ni udara dia nyaman je, pastu siap playground untuk anak2. Kalau dah boring sangat nak ke shopping mall, main kat playground biasa, boleh la amek peluang ke sini. View kat atas ni pon cantik. Boleh nampak town dan laut.. 





Sebelum naik train, haruslah bergroup photo.. Tak cukup semua ni.. entah mana menghilang..


Pastu, terus masuk dan beratur masuk. Sekarang ni diorang dah pakai train baru. Masa menunggu tu tak lama macam dulu. Tak salah aku, pakcik yang jaga cakap estimate masa dalam 7 minit dah boleh dapat naik train. Tak pasti plak diorang ada berapa train yang beroperasi. 



excited ke banggg??
