Day 38
Last night Layla found a peep hole in the side of our hut and rightly went a little beserk as she'd spotted the manager creeping around right around where the hole was located. Fortunately, or unfortunately for him, the only thing he would have copped a sight of was my lunchbox as Layla went to bed conservatively dressed. But that wasn't the point and to be honest the straw that broke the camel's back for Layla who has been hounded a little by the Indonesian men down here a little too much for comfort.
Whatever the case, heaven help whoever got in Layla's path today!
As it turned out we met some great guys today which served to damn our hasty judgments:
Top Bloke Number 1
Man from next door restaurant who not only organised our transport onwards to Padang (where we fly from to KL on Saturday) but met us armed with taco and banana pancake for our breakfast.
Top Bloke Number 2
Dr H Edi Hasymi, Mi Si Head of Padang Culture and Tourism Department who not only helped us decide on visiting the beaches to the south of Penang for the next couple of days but organised a driver to take us back to where we'd left our bags.
Top Bloke Number 3
Manager of our accomodation in Bungus, a bay to the south of Padang who was extremely friendly and nice to us after we'd checked into his accomodation which were beach huts overlooking the bay.
In fact the only nob we came across today was the taxi driver down from Padang to Bungus who tried to overcharge us and then short change us on arrival. By Jesus did Layla take him to the cleaners. He didn't know what had hit him. All of the onlooking staff from our accomodation found it highly amusing.
