This morning, we woke up with bored feeling. The kids have been down with chicken pox for several days now. We have stayed at home since they had them. The kids were kind of feeling it too from their behaviour.
With no accommodation booking, we decided to drive leisurely to Penang. I filled the Ipsum up at Jalan Skudai, Johor with Shell Super (the usual Shell Regular that I use not being sold there), and tyres to 230 inflation (the manufacturer's recommended figure).
The Ipsum was comfortable. I had no backache or felt tired when I arrived in Penang. The tension only built up when we were looking for a hotel room. Since it was school holiday, many hotels were fully booked. We stayed at Traders Hotel. The hotel situated beside the tallest tower in Penang - the KOMTAR.
I only wished that the Ipsum is equipped with cruise control and better audio system.
I did filled up at Damansara R&R, the Ipsum did 11.4 km per litre of petrol. Not bad for an MPV travelling leisurely usually at 110 km/h, both the aircond blowers were on with automatic temperature control set at around 26 degree celcius. The weather was hot. The traffic was smooth.
We started the journey around 10 am from JB Town Centre, made a quick stop at UTHO, Parit Raja, Batu Pahat for about 45 minutes and then straight to Georgetown. We arrived around 7.30 pm.
