Gurney Drive, Penang

The tide is high at 2.30pm today, water came up to the rocks so the sand on the beach is not visible. The water is cloudy with some debris floating about. A few people sitting around here doing nothing, just resting perhaps and some with their gf/bf. Gurney Drive is not busy at all though traffic is moving constantly. On these rocks the only sound you hear are waves hitting the rocks and the traffic noise in the background. Warm in the shadows of the big trees, the wind gentle and the sea in front of you, oh this is perfect for easing the mind of whatever. My guess is that the view from up the tower of Gurney Hotel behind me would be excellent - very brief visit here today, otherwise I would have stayed here overnight. Wow a splash on my trouser legs, is the water rising still? Time to go, came via the bridge this morning so I should try the ferry on the return journey. I can see a cruise ship berthing at the pier from here so the jetty couldn't be very far.
