Now this time around, I had a 2-night hotel stay at my disposal in October. Well, it was actually prepaid by yours truly for making the rookie mistake of accidentally booking a non-refundable hotel stay.
It was supposed to be for my Standard Chartered run weekend, but as it turned out, my knee pains had developed into an arthritis upon having them checked up in May. Thus, with a heavy heart, I had to forego the half marathon event I registered in February. Lucky for me tho', the hotel management was kind enough to reschedule my hotel stay and we've picked the recently passed weekend to plan a quick excursion to the city center, KL.
We took an
early train at 6.15am from Bukit Mertajam train station in Penang (mainland).
If you're travelling from Penang Island, you can take the ferry to Butterworth
train station to board the same ETS (Electric Train Service) train from Penang to KL Sentral (Kuala
Lumpur).
