One of my fav photos taken during this holiday, when Sam was playing with gravel.
Fort Cornwallis turns out to be Sam's big playground, he got such a kick walking & playing with gravel there! Initially we were still trying to stop him from getting himself dirty, but we soon gave up........
It was a bit silly actually, going to Fort Cornwallis. Considering that as Singaporeans, we ourselves have not visited Fort Siloso or any other similar sites since our secondary school days, it felt a bit funny to see something so similar, not only in the cannons & barracks, but also in the history of the place. Don't think would have gone there if there were other places we could go to with Sam so early in the day......Anyway, won't be posting too many photos here, cos I've uploaded all the pretty pictures of our entire trip in Picasa (link in sidebar), the actual album link being: http://picasaweb.google.com/tanhui23/PenangDec2007
Sam fell asleep in the taxi on our way back, so we skipped off to a good lunch at the Eastern & Oriental hotel. The grilled seafood was great! But unfortunately they've already started the X'mas promotion, so we ended up paying >2x the usual price for the buffet. *heartache*
The hotel was a beauty though, an equivalent of our Raffles Hotel. The main lobby actually retains one's echo very easily!!!
Will post the afternoon trip to the Blue Mansion in a separate post, it was a worthwhile visit!
P.S. Hopefully will be able to finish this Penang journal as planned.......getting more & more distracted by my parents' visit (among other things), & getting lazy abt writing in so much details after spending effort on the web album! ;P
