Philippines trip trraffic
The Philippines trip had a prupose, to get to the temple. But getting there is the first task. Manila is one of the most poluted city in the world. the traffic is the major cause of it. The smell of smog sticks to you and the noise from the horns is unbearable, at least the Jeepneys were interesting..
Elephant Conservation Centre Again.
Now that Gemma-ann is he we decide that to go the Elephant conservation centre again. Gemma-Ann had missed out last time as she had flown out a week earlier. So this time we went prepared and we set to enjoy ourselves. Which we did. We feed the elephant, rode the elephants and both Dad and Stephan Swam with the elephants. Even Mum joined in.
A great day out and a do something Gemma-ann wanted to do.

Penang Hill Inclin
Well we got a chance to go up the Penang Hill on the inclin tram.
It goes up 800mtr. it went above the rain that was falling so we got to see the clouds from on the top. Occassionly it would break to let us see saome of the landscape below, but it was cool at the top.
It also give Stephan a chance to rest..
Lunch in Old town Georgetown.
Lunch in Old Georgetown was Indain it was hot and it was chicken. guess?.
The old town area of Georgetown is mostly old chinese building much like the ones in Malacca but most have bennd restored within the last 20 years. this was due to the bombing the Japanese did during the Second world war. Still a very nice area of town.
Buddhist Temples
Kek Lok Si Temple Buddha
The final part of the temple is a huge Buddha at the top of the hill. It was very large. and they are in the process of putting a large room structure over it. The pillars for the roof are made of Stone blocks that have been carved each one weighing many tonne. So they had all the stone block spreah out and numbered. the ride to the top was smooth but easy in the liitle life they had.
