Langkawi!

It's been about a week now since the trip to Langkawi, well, here are some pictures;
Some rich man Jetty on the way to Langkawi Cable car. Too bad the cable car was closed for maintenance, so we headed to Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls instead.
Seriously though, if you're not fit, please don't attemp this place, the climb was steep, and mosquito filled!

It was a nice place though, caught a chinese couple arguing near the waterfalls.

Next up, we detoured towards Datai Lama. We drove aimlessly, hoping to find something, when my phone rang, It seems I'm now connected to Thailand's Network.....

Anyway, we stopped by Andaman Hotel for a while. I felt like a foreigner there, all the guest were guai lous.

The beach was nothing to shout about, brown sands, no corals, nothing much, just a very grand Hotel.

After that, we headed to Kuah Town for dinner, we had a simple dinner, salted fish nasi lemak. By the way, Kuah town boast of cheap stuff, yeap the chocolates were cheap, clothes were cheap too, a little bit outdated, yet still cheap. Bought an England training UMBRO jersey for RM19!

We stopped by Langkawi Fair, nothing much really.

The next day, we booked a ticket for island hopping. We rode a high speed catamaran, to 3 locations.

First was Dayang Bunting, translated means, Pregnant Mermaid. It was named because of the landscape, looks like a pregnant lady. Someone in the boat commented;

"There's the boobs, and there's the tummy!!"

Sorry, the picture I took wasn't conclusive.
This island is famous for a lake in the middle of it. Well, the lake was huge, but nothing much, just a long walk towards it.
A nice indian couple helped us with this picture.

Next up, was eagle feeding. Nothing much once again.



The last location was nothing to shout about too, a swimming island I would say, no corals, no nothing, just tonnes of sand fly bitting all over your body!


Later that day, we decided to try out cable car again, WHOALA! It was open! Undoubtedly the best part of the Langkawi trip, besides the food, and the shopping, and the corn on my leg due to long hours on the shopping mall, yeap, cable car, loved it!





No need to comment, go and enjoy it for yourself! We stopped by Pantai Cenang in the evening for dinner. Parked our car somewhere and walked down the streets. Once again, it was filled with guai lous.

We stopped by a restaurant called "Ikan Bakar". To be frank, it is a highly recommended food stop, by "Jacob" and "Anne". We ordered a simple Nasi Goreng, and Grilled Baracuda Fillet, both taste GREAT!


Those shots are the view from the restaurant, yes it is a seaside restaurant, somewhere I wouldn't mind going back. Too bad, there were too many "visible" fishing boats a few miles offshore, or else it would have been prettier.

I will try to find some time to post about the cable car soon. That's all for now
