Langkawi Trip

After months of planting myself in office and also pressured to perform in marathon, It's time to relax.

Since it was quite a last minute trip, I decided to go for local. So we decided to go some where romantic, which is Langkawi.

The best part was, I was not even decided on my hotel. As we landed there, we went to the information counter and got a car. Then we went to the Pantai Chenang beach area to hunt for hotel. Finally we settled with Langgura Hotel.

The hotel was;
-Just nice for budget people.
- water pressure was slow
- wifi only available at reception
- limited space for parking
- need to walk 100M for the beach (no beach view)

We tried variety of food everyday from northern Indian, mamak, seafood, western, pasar malam food, beach side food and fast food.

We were there for 5 days 4 nights. Places that we visited:

1. Laman Padi
Just paddy field. Nice for city people whom never been to village side

2. Underwater world
Experience fishes and sea living which we would only watch on television including penguins. Expensive for RM28.

3. Island Hoping
Good boat ride with high tide and but marred with rain when we were coming back. Nice Crystal clear water.

4. Buffalo park
A lot of buffalo. most of them are from India. If you want to take photo with it, extra RM10. Damn, I can do that at a village. Enjoyed feeding the grass to it.

5. Wildlife park
Had good time feeding birds, ostrich, rabbit, ducks and monkey.

6. Oriental village
Feed the dear and rabbit. The elephant ride is RM100, we just say forget it.

7. Harbour Park
8. Go Cart Track
9. Horse riding place
All these place were just pass by as nothing much to see.

10. Lagenda Park
11. Eagle Bay
These two place is good to take photo shots as it has good landscape.

12. 7 wells waterfalls
The waterfalls has 7 stages. We could only go to the 1st stage as my wife didn't had stamina to go to the top. So I just had nice shower at the waterfalls and came back.

13. Hot Spring
The place was still under renovation, but the hot spring was there. It's good to see a natural hot spring at beach side.

14. Crocodile Farm
What else to expect apart from crocodile. But that stunt by the caretaker was good where he insert his hand into the crocodile's mouth and nothing happened.

15. Black Sand Beach
The sand is black. That's it. the place was dirty. can't bath there.

16. Burnt rice
It's just a corner area which shows the burnt rice place.

17. Kota Mashuri
Mashuri's mausoleum and the house that she stayed.

18. Perdana Gallery
A place where they store all the gift received by our former prime minister, Tun Dr.Mahathir. A real waste to go there unless you are Mahathir fan.

Apart from all this:

1. I tried parachuting for the 1st time
2. I flew in MAS after 8 years
3. Finally spent quality time with my wife which I will treasure it forever.
