Penang Hill - on a warm and cloudy day

Navigating the maze of narrow lanes and small shops up the slope, we reached the foot of Penang Hill station. Expect crowds and long queues. 

On the tram which has been refurbished and modernised. It can run at higher speed and less creaky than the previous generation models. 

The roast nuts stall is doing a brisk business. They are traditionally typically Indian managed - micro sole proprietorship or family business.

As good as it gets ... this is quite a nice view despite being a cloudy day. Nothing spectacular.
It was warm up here despite at 735 m (2,450 ft) above sea level.

Time to leave Flagstaff Hill (the lesser known British name) and move to the next sight-seeing destination.
