We got the news that the Owl Museum has its opening ceremony on the weekend and we went all the way to Bukit Bendera to get our free entrance for the museum. Reach the down hill of Bukit Bendera and found that the place has been renovated and looks very very beautiful. In fact, will be another location for photography. Although the Federal Government did pour out some money for the multistory car park but has yet to operate. After we park our car at the ready car park behind the cable car station, we walk through a beautiful walk way to the cable car station. The environment had been changed a lot and I am very happy with the effort from the state government.
Inside the cable car station, there is a little museum to keep us inform on the history of the Penang cable car. It was the trade mark of Penang. The cable car station is upgrade with air conditioning on the waiting bay that allow my son to cool down himself. Inside the cable car, it was clean but air conditioning might not sufficient to support the capacity in the car and it was a little warm inside. People in Penang are very caring, they saw my wife was carrying Chong Hee and they gave a seat to my wife. Thanks to the caring Penangite, I am proud to be one of the Penangites.
With the fully import cable car, a technology from Switzerland it reaches the cable car station within 5 minutes. We visited the Owl Museum as it was the last day of free entrance. A little disappointed after the visiting of the museum. Feel that people has been misuse the word museum. We expected to have tones of info of owl on our visit but it was more like an art gallery collection of owl. There is no info about owl at all. There is no single life owl in the museum. But we appreciate the art work and the collection of the owl souvenir in the gallery. We had our family photo in the museum.
Took a rest after the museum visiting before we proceed to the monkey cup garden. Pailim show us her family magic photo, we also want to show our magic photo with my son.
There are transport services to bring us for 2km journey to the monkey cup garden but it was way too expensive, RM 30 per person. We decided to take a walk to the destination. Carrying Chong Hee to walk for 2km, sounds not easy, but we enjoy the view as we walk along the way. Chong Hee was very tire along the trip he slept while I was carrying him. The scenery there was very very nice. I plan to bring him there again after he has grown up a little. The garden has over few hundred types of monkey cup. Too bad, we had too shallow knowledge about monkey cup.
