These were taken on a normal day as it was just going to be hit by a storm. The water was belting against the walls quite ferociously and the sky was getting darker. Cannot imagine what happened on boxing day!!
My partner spent a lot of time when he was young in this exact hotel. Dad was busy working in the area which allowed him to explore the inner sanctum of this hotel as a live-in resident. Much has changed he says...it used to have various hideaways, places in which he could galavant without Mum knowing - bats and all.
So we took a trip down memory lane on this visit... it was good to find out a little more about him and his youthful escapades. The rooms were pretty generous overlooking the gardens/sea and we were just 5 meters away from the pool. The butler service was uncalled for since we prefer to make our own tea and like any boys be loosely clad at all times as and when we wanted to.... sorry those pictures are only available on requests.
If you are ever in Penang - I would recommend the E & O. It is worth a visit....
