I visited Penang National Park which is an area of forest and unspoiled beaches. It's also free to enter, making it a perfect day trip for a Scottish traveler.

I walked from my Airbnb condominum (see my last video:    • $40 AirBnb in George Town, Penang 🇲🇾  ) into the tourist trap area to the backpacker street called Lebuh Chulia. It's basically Penang's version of Bangkok's Khao San road but nowhere near as awful.

I visited that area because it's very easy to rent a scooter in less than a few minutes. At the first guesthouse I tried I got a scooter right away for 30 ringits per day and I was on my way, to the National Park.

The traffic was annoying in the city centre with many one way streets, I kept going around in circles and having to stop to pull out my phone for Google Maps. Eventually after getting out of that mess it was a pleasant drive along the coast with not much traffic.

I fueled up for the hike with a nice young coconut and a local delicacy of jackfruit deep-fried in batter. Anything that's battered and deep-fried is delicious to a Scotsman's taste buds but the jackfruit was particularly nice.

I'd planned to hike to Monkey Beach as I had several years ago. I had good memories of that trek and wanted to relive the experience while vlogging. Unfortunately, do to landslides the path was closed and I instead did the hike to Turtle Beach which is less popular but more unspoiled. It also has a small turtle sanctuary there that's also free to enter.

Disappointingly, it seems that swimming is banned at Turtle Beach. Well, yer man's never been one for following the rules, has he?
