After all that adventure, break for lunch at Suffolk House, once home to the founder of colonial Penang, Captain Francis Light. In the evening, refresh your energy at Perut Rumah, a restaurant serving authentic Nyonya delicacies, and enjoy a take a breaking trishaw ride through the historical buildings and landmarks of the colonial era.

Day 3:
Reminisce with memories from Penang's history as you visit the Colonial Penang Museum, where you can imagine the lifestyle of the city's British administrators and wealthy merchants.
