Day 1: First Beach Day

A straight forward crossing on a fast catamaran from Butterworth to Langkawi - departure at 8:30am so we had to get up at 6:30(!). Technofunk was blasting out full volume when we boarded, soon to be replaced by the latest Terminator film showing on a couple of small TVs at the front that were impossible to see.

Took the 8:15 AM ferry from Penang-Langkawi Island. It was, as the Brits like to say, ******* down rain. My pack cover got a workout but it kept all the contents quite dry.

After that we headed north to find the waterfall armed with only a...

I so loooove Langkawi. We went for 3 days and stayed for 4. We caught a ferry from Penang to Langkawi early Monday morning. If you decide to do this, pack a jumper and a beanie. The ferry was freezing... It took just over 2 hours to get there and by the time we had arrive, I had nearly unpacked all my Nepal stuff to wear. After checking in, we w...

...No not the dodgy pub in Queen's Square, Bristol, but a lovely restaurant in Langkawi... We read in the local paper about a small restaurant attached to a fish farm, which also did bed and breakfast. We thought it sounded interesting so decided to go there once we got to Lankawi. The taxi drivers who met us at the ferry port were not so sure. ...

Hello everyone, finally got myself to write another entry, getting really lazy with this thing and thailands horendous internet fares are not really motivating either. Didn't think i would come back to malaysia that soon but as it turned out to be the cheapest place for a visa run, i find myself on the island of langkawi just south of the border...
