National Park & Escape Penang Holiday Trip

We had a 4 night 5 days vacation at Penang from 28/9 to 2/10/2023. I thought I would be a boring vacation because before this our trip was a bit boring.

Surprisingly, this holiday was really fun especially activities at Escape Penang & National Park.

We had our breakfast at Gemas Road Brothers. The queue was really long. I think the roti canai is overrated. I don’t really like it. The kuah taste sour and really spicy.
