First day walk to the ATM


This is a famous house we will tour tomorrow. The people here in Panang (Georgetow) are quite proud of its World Heritage status. Justly so it seems.

A once stately colonial mansion, now guest house. Had seen it online and considered it for ourselves, but ended with Mingood which turned out to be a happy choice. Explanation to follow.

A handsome mosque with great history. The site was "granted" to the Sepoy soldiers (in service East India Company) by said company. Restored with funds of local community in 1958.

I found this little piece of architectural loveliness to be touchingly charming.
