... t seen before. They are everywhere and make a huge amount of noise at feeding time.

We are off tomorrow to go to another Island called Langkawi, this is a bigger island at the North West coast of Malaysia. This has a lot of tourism as it is a Duty free island.......there is also a rumour that JD is only 8 pound a bottle and beer is cheaper than water :0)........the next blog might have a few HicUps in!!!!

... variety, so I don't know if it counts as two whole books really). It was nice, but it quickly became clear that my plan to "lie on the beach and do nothing in order to spend no money" was not going to work, because after about 2 days the "peacefulness" of an empty beach will turn into the "lonesomeness" of an empty beach...so I was again *forced* to continue traveling on to Penang, which is bustling with backpackers, so all is well. :)

... Because Chris is a fallang (foreigner), the guys said he couldn't touch it as it wasn't use to his smell. Thank goodness for some sense... It was really amazing. Every morning we'd go for a walk on the beach, followed by a long swim, and just chilled out on our porch. We relieved one of the locals shops of some local G&Ts and rum to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets with from our villas stoep. Chris organised some prawns for us ...

... and guesthouses. The beach was pretty quiet, but there was enough going on to keep things interesting. My guesthouse was a 2 minute walk from the beach and at night I could hear the waves from my room. 2 small islands are located not far off the mainland and made for a nice view. The beach had little shacks offering kayaks, snorkeling gear, jet skis, and boat rides. The charcoal grilled corn on the cob sold at stalls along the beach road ...

... on the beach near the hotel, which wasn't superb. But the following day we went for a walk around the Island, but not so much. We discovered another little Island adjacent to the one we were staying at, and at the right time of the day, as the tide is low, you can walk across to it. So we did. It was quite al right and the sea was much more clearer than the day before. There was hardly anything at the bottom of the sea, except ...

... an outsider, the monkey in the zoo instead of the visitor watching the monkey. It is difficult to sit down and observe life going by when you stand out in a crowd, and mostly you find it is you who is being observed. Although travellers choose for this, choose for the experience, I've seen it wears people out. I feel it wears me out. I haven't seen a single soul that doesn't get tired ...

... up. Once these two couples were seated at their tables, we noticed another small group of people arrive. As we all had, they asked if the restaurant was open. This time, TJ and his wife simply answered that the restaurant was closed. What? No invitation to join them? Imagine that! We were touched. We were so fortunate that TJ considered us regulars and invited us in for his open house. I guess that's what you get for frequenting an establishment often and continually ...

... other villas. There are some up the hillside in the forest where the best views are and have a look round the photo gallery of the famous people who have visited in the past. Pavarotti stayed here a short time ago whilst touring the Far East. We flag down one of the complimentary jeeps that drops us off over at Emerald bay and so we can go snorkeling. Not much can be seen as the water has been churned up by a recent storm. There is a sign telling us ...
