Day 4 - George Town

Last morning in our luxury hotel and time to join our counterparts in Indonesia for a real backpacking stuff :)

We packed ourselves with breakfast laughing at East European style of exploiting the free stuff :)

Bus number 101 took us to George Town, where we had a critical task - to get Indonesian visa. On the bus we have met a family with two small kids, one less than a year! What can I say - brave people!

We hoped to get the visa on the same day, but after a hassel with photo copying and getting passport pictures, our chances went down to zero. We have to spend one night in George Town.

The town happened to be a crowded city with roundabouts and weird one-sided traffic. Prices are often quoted as number++, for example 340++ will add up to 390 with additional fees and charges.

Several times we went to central bus station to find a connection. As in many countries - it is a place to be :) Homeless, fights, dirt, emissions - that's how we found the ultimate story with Penang Bridge trip...
