Penang Hill Train Ride

The train up Penang Hill is a funicular train meaning it has two cars balanced on a cable, when one goes up the other comes down. It is a 51% slope and made the 2,000 feet in just a few minutes with 100 people in our car.

Greg and Grace at the top.
There is a Hindu temple and a Masque at the top.


You can just see the Katie Lee center frame with a little imagination.

After
Oh yeah, and as we were walking almost to the top, there was a snake charmer. That really is a king cobra she is kissing!
