It is accessible via the <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/J6QLLPKQ3T3KRZnQA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penang Hill Railway<\/a> o <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/amCTcNt68FmTj15t5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hiking trails<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We took a Grab to the base of Penang Hill and bought express passes for the funicular. We only had about 24 hours in Georgetown and wanted to make the most of it. They told us it would be over an hour wait for the normal pass. We bit the bullet and paid 80RM each to ride the funicular up the hill right away. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the top, there are multiple lookout points. There is one right at the station that is the largest and most popular. We took in the view, then began wandering around to see what else was up there. Unlike most other viewpoints at this altitude, there were some roads, restaurants, houses, and attractions built on top of the hill. Penang Hill was originally a colonial retreat, the historic Bellevue Hotel stands as a testament to that era.<\/span><\/p><p>We walked along a paved road towards a section of the hill I had seen online. The road turned into a boardwalk which led to a place called The Habitat. The Habitat is a rainforest discovery park winding along one side of the hill. It has a canopy walkway, treetop observation deck, and nature trails.\u00a0It cost 60RM\/pax, which is crazy. But, I had heard online that it was worth it, so we went for it. It was cool!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f03f0b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-gallery\" data-id=\"f03f0b7\"

In other words, it&#8217;s not a bridge that leads anywhere. It was built as a place to get a view of the forested mountain surrounding The Habitat. We could see clouds moving in fast. We watched them approach until heavy rain began to fall. We ran for cover and waited out the rain for around 20 min in a covered area near the suspension bridge. We then did the rest of the walk without stopping until we reached the end. We had to wait for an employee to get there. When they did, they took us back to the start in a golf cart.

The first thing we decided to try was a bowl of noodles sold from a little cart on the street. They were surprisingly good! <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We referenced the michelin guide constantly in Georgetown. Possibly because we had good luck using it in Chiang Mai and Bangkok, and because there were so many acclaimed food spots to choose from. We walked to a michelin guide restaurant to try more home made noodles. They weren&#8217;t bad, but they weren&#8217;t as good as the street cart. It was cool to watch a video of how they make the noodles in house by using a thick bamboo pole to smash the dough. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We went to another market and got some dessert which was mid. We ended our food crawl with Malaysia&#8217;s specialty:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0more <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/BwsxN8icAnhyY2zp9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian food<\/a>. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was the kind of place where they already had everything prepared and you point to what you want and then they tell you the price. It was SO good. We went there because it was close to our hotel and I am so glad we stopped.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

I\u2019m Zach! I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/westindiestravel.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/facebook.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/instagram.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/terrestrialtemple\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@westindiestravel\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!--
