I knew about this trip from one of my friend, and without hesitated, I registered for my wife and myself. For me, it is a rare opportunity to go so near around the Penang bridge and took some memorable's photo.
The trip start at around 5.00pm with a boat trip towards the Penang bridge, we could felt the excitement of all the participants while we were in the boat.

As we make around at the center of the Penang bridge, I realised that the bridge looks gigantic and amazed that human can actually build this thing. The sunset view from beneath the bridge is really nice......
