Friday ,( Malaysia), 14 Oct., 2015  -  Penang to Kuala Lumpur
   We left the mainly island state of Penang at 8:30 this morning. A lot of travelling. On the way out of George Town we stopped at Chew Jetty, a UNESCO site, referred to as a floating village it is actually built on stilts over the water and was often the second place were immigrating Chinese lived after spending their first two weeks in a clan house.
   Lunch was at a rest stop beside the highway.  Eva and I each had a ‘hamburger’, a disgrace to the name.  We followed this up sharing’ which was like a 3 inch diameter dumpling with a savoury filling, and an iced tea.  Very tasty.
   We arrived at the Renissance Hotel about  4 pm and I, (Dick), spent the next hour trying to figure out how to turn the lights on and off and to get a ‘key card’ that would work in the door. I finally got help from hotel staff who showed me their central control box on the bed side table.  I’ve never seen anything like it in or out of a hotel.
   For supper we went to the KL tower and it’s revolving restaurant, the ‘Atmosphere 360', at approximately 1000 ft. high.  It was a truly fabulous buffet. On the way back from the tower we stopped briefly for photos of the twin towers at night.
