I made my second visit to the Penang national park today and walked a different trail ... although its arduous walking it really is stunning and this time I had the pleasure of meeting up with some monkeys who were hanging around a bridge. As I hope you will deduce from the photos the jungle comes right down to the sea and once you get into the jungle itself the paths are a good mix of artifical and natural. The walk took me to the other side of the island where the turtles nest (unfortunately none were around and I sat on the beach and eat my lunch which consisted of half a kilo of the small local bananas which are really delicious and the bottle of water which I had refilled at the hostel. When I got back I was drenched with sweat which is normal during the day over here and probably accounts for why my weight is down to sixty kilos!
