Penang Trip 2011- Penang Botanical Gardens

At first i wanted to go the Bukit Bendera but apparently the Agung was there for a visit so they sealed off the place. So I changed my plan and headed for the Penang Botanical Garden's instead at 12 noon! It was not a very good idea...... @_@

Outside of the park

This place opens really early.

A loooongg road ahead

For first timers I suggest you guys take the tram to fully explore the place. It's only RM2 per person, or is it RM4...? I explored the place by foot and i regretted it. It doesn't help when the sun is shining so brightly and you are wearing jeans. @_@

My first stop at the garden was at this Orchid garden where there were no visible orchid flowers to be found. ._.

Welcome to Jurassic park.

The road not taken. =S

Only one lily to be seen. Ironic.

Some flower house with more greenery.

Butterfly on a love shaped flower assembly.

Some gigantic tree

Don't know what's so special about these cactus until they had to be locked up in a cage. Fortunately i could take a picture. Cropped some parts of the vignetting.

Wrestling monkies

After that really beh tahan the heat and went to Gurney plaza to have lunch. :D
