Home away from home

23 Love Lane
This is ‘23 Love Lane’, the little hideaway we shared in Penang these past few days. Simply named after its street address, this charming and lovingly restored place felt more like a home than a hotel with just a few rooms, all in a different style and with lush gardens and an eclectic décor that combines antiques and knick knacks with stylist contemporary art. It is just the kind of place I love and the fact that it happened to be located down a winding backstreet called ‘Love Lane’ made it all the more inviting. I have been in Asia now for 18 years and for some strange reason have never visited Penang. It was lovely to discover it with you for the first time with its unique character and relaxed pace that perfectly suited our own. I enjoyed our leisurely walks along those historic streets and the long afternoon chats we shared in our quiet room as we escaped the mid-day heat. It was a perfect small getaway and I loved being there with you. We have many wonderful photos as souvenirs of our time together there and even more memories to last a lifetime.
