hello from penang

Hello all
Sorry once again for us being so slack on writing our blogs but by the time we get back to the hotel we are so exhausted so we just go to bed.

Anyway in short we are currently in Penang. We have been here for two days now and so far it is very different to what we thought it would be.
We have spent most of the past two days relaxing by the pool and the pool bar which has been nice but it is very different from the week we had in KL when we were busy non stop all day.
Our nights are spent in Batu ferringhi eating dinner on the beach at a nice restaurant with some new friends we have made (they may be puppies but they still count).
After dinner we have walked up and down the market stalls which ofcourse we are everyone's first customer and best friend.

We have an amazing view from our hotel room. I will try and post some photos tomorrow.

Sorry this is so short but I'm ready for bed.

Ohhh a few days ago back in KL we went to the Batu caves. There is 272 stairs to the top and the same coming down. As most of you know I am veryyyyy clumsy and fall over thin air... but you will be proud to know I made it all the way up the steep stairs but coming down is a different story. In typical Lauren fashion I fell down the very last step into a pot hole injuring my ankle. Ofcourse I balled my eyes out but it was more embarrassing because there were hundreds of worshippers at the caves staring at me.
So I have been struggling a lot the past few days.... but mum you will be glad to know the swelling is going down and it doesn't hurt so much anymore

Hope all is well at home.
Happy Australia day aswell: )

Love Lauren and Kristian
