Our visit also coincided with the Langkawi water festival, and there were hundreds of people entering in all sorts of competitive activities hoping to win a gold medal and there were so many options - dodge-ball, raw seafood eating, sitting in and ice bath, raft building, catch a chicken, bamboo races etc we were determined to gt up early and compete and win a gold, but we were all very hungover the next day so unfortunately no medal for us!
My birthday evening was as fabulous as expected except we started very early on so we were all skanky and unwashed!I was even escorted in a wheelbarrow for a while! We played many a game, sang a few songs, had an in depth poo discussion where lots of stories were revealed (trust me - you don't wanna know), and all of a sudden found ourselves in World War three with the (German) neighbours who through a stone at our door and were very strange and rude - the women was in her underwear, and at one point got on her knees pretending to beg, and we were all like,'Er..........what are you doing?'

. The old man used the naughty c word, which got us all going!!!Langkawi was great, there was a lot to do on the island so we had mopeds out for a few days. We went to the seven wells, and had a tough climb to the top of the waterfall where natural slides have formed to us being the brave girls went first down them on our bums, then the boys had a go. It was good as there were monkeys playing in the trees around us and you'd all of a sudden see one wandering past minding its own business! On our way down though, one started throwing things at us! And they were in the road and when we beeped them to get out of the way, they angrily chased us down the road!!!
We drove past 'Cock beach' which we wanted to be amazing as we liked its name, but we saw an amazing sunset on the beach just south to where we stayed.
Tom (who had developed some awful scurvy worm parasite living in his back) had been going on about 'special burgers' he'd had in Malaysia before so we had to give them a try and yes they were deliciously 'special', where the burger is cooked and then wrapped in egg, with lots of herb and flavor, yum yum!!
We did many a trip to duty free on the bikes and stocked up on the old alcohol, so we had a bit of a routine going on of drinking day, hangover day, drinking day, hangover day - always the best way!
