Trip to Penang








Here are a few pics from a trip we made recently to the beautiful Malyasian island of Penang. Lots of golden temples with dragons and a lovely tropical spice garden here.



Aromatic ginger and lemongrass.




This plant reminds me of the dragon above!







Lots of different bamboos - this one is black.


And this one is Buddha's belly!











Hope you enjoyed the tour!

  6. You are a most excellent tour guide, dear Caroline. Fantastic sights! All those colorful dragons are spectacular, and the lotus candles are soothing. Love that floral silhouette behind the palm. And Buddha's Belly! I've never seen that before. So wonderful that you followed it up with the real Buddha Belly. :)
