KL Sentral train station was far more serene than the hustle and bustle of London. We all had to sit patiently in the waiting area until our train was called.
Our train journey itself was very smooth and punctual. With pre-seat reservations required this avoided chaotic scenes to grab a seat.
When we arrived at Butterworth Station we had a short walk to the ferry terminal to make the final part of the journey to Penang.
You can get over to the island by road bridge or ferry. We opted for the ferry at 22p each. Let's just say we won't be getting on that boat again. There were no clear safety measures being followed. Thank goodness the journey took only a few minutes. George did take one photo out of the ferry window which also described the weather on arrival - grim.
We are staying in Georgetown for 3 nights in a lovely traditional style building called Carnarvon House. It is nestled down a quiet road away from the city noise and traffic pollution - perfect. As we move further north and away from major cities we are finding the style of accommodation we are seeking to be much cheaper but still excellent quality.
