We have left Penang on Monday and now in Cameron Highlands. The following photographs are some of the sights and moments we experienced on the island during our stay. All is fine with us however Kay started the flu bug and has passed it on the Heather, Myrtle, Carol and Shirley. Talk about sharing!! The flu is at its worse for 24 hours than tapers of slowly. So far Anne, Neil and Dawn have been spared. The next post will be focused on our visit to the Cameron Highlands. Neil

The Khoo Konsi. This two hundred year old building was built for the Khoo family whose ancestors lived, fought (during the 19th century Chinese Wars) and built a society of "clan people" for their family. Interestingly Shirley's son-in-law is a Khoo and is directly connected to this family.
