Today is cuti-cuti Penang right after 爸爸 reach home from his business trip :) Yeah, no mercy for him for leaving us at home while he's becoming a frequent flyer. Ok la, pity him also as he's tired from driving us to Malacca and KL. The day after reaching home he's scheduled to fly off and he was sick. Very funny story about how he missed his early morning flight. End up he had to fly to KL to catch a connecting flight to his connecting flight (Get it? PG-KL-BKK-TW instead of PG-BKK-TW).
We started off with Dragon Boat Race at Teluk Bahang Dam. It's a hot and sunny day but clouds are building up. This is the first time the children watch a dragon boat race. We left during the race teams' lunch time.

爸爸 beria-ia want to bring us to Tropical Fruit Farm (he saw a banner years ago and had always wanted to go). We went around the way to Balik Pulau and saw many orchards. Finally reached this orchard-like place but no parking and left. Took some photos of the blooming durians, they were all over the place. It smelt of durian when we opened the car door. We stopped at Penang National Park. Seems like the hike is not suitable for children even though we wanted to go to beach there.

It's lunch time, and 弟弟 had decided for us he wanted to go to Hard Rock Cafe. Wonder where has he heard of it before? We just ordered a fish-and-chips kid's meal, classic burger and barbeque chicken. So full! In fact, 姐姐 and I shared the burger. Even only with half a burger, I'm so full (and the burger looked small).

It rained in the afternoon, so we went home to rest. In the evening, we set out again for the new water fountain park that we missed the last time. We reached around 5:40pm and the water fountains had started spraying. It stopped around 6:30pm. The children say the water is so cold, probably due to the rain. They are the only ones in swimming gear, the rest are kids in t-shirts. 弟弟 didn't even want to take off his shirt as no one does. There's even a public restroom with shower stalls right by the guard hose. Mozzies start to attack when it got darker so we left for home.
