Georgetown in Penang Malaysia is geographically close to Thailand. My first trip coincided with an upswing in temperatures. I must confess it slowed me down somewhat. Another UNESCO designated World Heritage site. What a gem! I will return in a month that is just a bit cooler...

[[ April 15 ... Postscript Part 3 PHIILIPPINES
This was my 3rd visit here and I amazed myself with 3 new incredible places. Baguio, Vigan and Laoag are a triumvirate of destinations, all different and worthy of a visit. So much to see and do in the Philippines !
[[ April 15 ... Postscript Part 2 LAOS
Lao People's Democratic Republic. My first time here to Luang Prabang. Original, unique and full of untouched adventure opportunities. The people are warm and inviting.
