Bicycle Route From Queensbay to The Light, Penang

The route started off at the overhead bridge opposite E-Gate. The entrance is at a branch off from the motorcycle lane.

The path is beautiful, quiet but still feel safe from The Light to the Golden Triangle/Putra Place. But I do not see any lamp post on the track so do not come late or during dark time.

The path is smooth for riding and running.

A branch out can be found at The Light car entrance and ones have to cross the road to branch in again to the bicycle path

You can ride straight until it branch to the left to the Marine Police Quarters and there is another small left turn to continue the path. From here to the Queensbay Malay stall, the path is uneven and difficult to ride. I usually choose to ride straight on the vehicle path.

Take the left turn to the Marine Police Quarters. Notice there is another left turn after this.

Vehicle path if you did not branch out left after Marine Police quarter

After the Jetty to Jerejak, right beside Putra Marine Resort there is a left turn to continue to Queensbay Mall. The path continue behind Baystar Condominium. From this part, there are lesser people and recommend better to come with group of people.

And then we reach Queensbay mall. The path end at the last roundabout at the end of the branch out to Coastal Road/FIZ. Total about 8km and took around 1 hour or less one way.

Overall is a pleasant experience and thanks to Penang government provide such a good place for exercise. Hopefully the route can be extended to Georgetown and Bayan Lepas soon and equip with solar lights. Go Penang!

My Experience of Penang to Melaka with Malindo

It was a sunny day when Malindo Air took off from Penang International Airport. This is my first time sitting on a propeller plane. Dad has been telling me how noisy a propeller plane will be and it just make me can't wait to find out myself!

The sound was indeed super annoying when we board the plane. However, once get into the cabin, the sound reduce at least 80%-90%, which make the in-flight experience pleasant. The sound proof is much better than Firefly which I get to find out as I sat on a Firefly propeller plane a week after Malindo's.

The chair is more comfortable than AirAsia, more ergonomic for Asian (as I felt). Air-conditional functioning well too.

The propeller is right at Row 5, if it is a concern for you.

The snacks are mineral water and biscuits. Looks a bit 'kolian' (pathetic) but I do love the biscuit! Nothing to complaint about the snack as I really feel they have done their very best as a low budget airline. I just always feel blessed when they delivery me and my family to our destination safely.

One thing worth mentioning is the baggage collection at Melaka International Airport. The sign is not very obvious. You have to take note at the alley on your left before the Exit.

Thanks Malindo Air for bringing the flight to Melaka - Penang route. Home is never too far now.
