Somewhere near Pekan Teluk Bahang, I captured this image of a fisherman, working on his gear.

Here's another shot of the beach at Pekan Teluk Bahang, Penang, Malaysia. If you take a look at my other photo of Pekan Teluk Bahang, you can see these two boats behind the buoy flags of the boat in the foreground. It's no so obvious that it's raining in this image.

I still have vague memories of the day I took off to ride around the island. I took off in an anti-clockwise direction from Georgetown staying as much as possible to the coastal road through Tanjong Bungah (don't know what Tanjong means but Bungah means 'flowers') and Batu Feringgi (which translates as 'Foreigner's Rock') before pitching up an Pekan Teluk Bahang (Teluk Bahang means 'Bay of the Heat Wave', no idea what Pekan means or if google maps is even correct).

The ferry also stops by some of the local attractions on it's way into the islands. Here it's pulling up to the limestone cliffs so the passengers can see some caves where locals gather swift nests for birds nest soup. Quite why a soup made from bird spit is so sought after I don't know. I've never tasted it myself. But I'm left wondering...

I'm going to go out on a limb with the name of this photo. I'm about 80% sure it's somewhere on Koh Phi Phi Ley and not Koh Phi Phi Don. I didn't note the distinction on the notes on my slide label on this one. I'm also going to guess that I took this from a boat, by virtue of the deeper blue at the bottom of the frame. The shallow water is that lovely aqua color while the deeper water is a colder blue.

I can't actually place where I took this photo but I'm thinking it's more likely Koh Phi Phi Ley than Koh Phi Phi Don, largely because the photos around it in my collection show all the hallmarks of having been taken from a moving small boat - horizons far from level! I think this image shows the vertical scale of the limestone outcrops that form these islands.
