Langkawi

*Hi Guys. This post was meant to be up on Wednesday but there were lots of errors in uploading the post. It must have been the connection. This is the uncut and unedited version that was not meant to be... hahaha!

I'm at Langkawi now... I've been keeping myelf busy with lots of outdoor adventure activities. Island hopping, Eagle feeding, fresh water swimming, cable car ride, hiking etc... just to name a few! Tomorrow I'll be hiking to the Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls, parasailing and kayaking in the open sea. Friday will be the 5 hour mangrove kayaking and cave exploration before I fly back to KLIA.


There's a lot to write but I'm quite tired (physically) and I want to rest but to be fair I'll just post a few of the pics I've taken so far!


This is Chenang Beach where I'm staying. I took this shot yesterday evening while strolling on the beach.


The sun is setting even further... Look at the top left corner of the pic and you'll see a black dot. That's somebody parasailing!


Some kids playing by the beach... panoramic with a human touch.
Today's Island hoppinbg adventure - the jetty I left off from at Pantai Tengah

Man, I love Langkawi... beautiful!

Pulau Dayang Bunting... Pregnant Maiden's Island. Check it out... her face, breasts and her pregnant belly. Cool huh?
This is Tasik Dayang Bunting. It's a freshwater lake that is so close to the sea you'd think it's part of the sea. This lake is separated by a miracle barrier that causes it to be a freshwater lake but yet so slose to the sea you'd think it's part of it.
One of the hundreds of resident monkeys on this island.
This is not me sunbathing... hahaha! I just jumped into the lake for a swim. Left my SLR with one of the tourist who wasn't swimming. too tempted already. It's way cooler than swimming in the sea.
View from the cable car up Gunung Mat Cincang.
This is the lower station of the two on the way up to Gunung Mat Cincang.
The fable goes that Mat Cincang used to be a being that transformed himself into a mountain. Hmmnn...
There is a boardwalk at the higher station that allows you to walk "through" the mountain to have a real panaoramic view... simply amazing!
Petronas Quay where the boats and some yatches are parked.
So there you have it, adventures for today. Tomorrow's going to be more fun! *Yawn... Good night!
*Yup... Thursday for so fun, I was really too tired to even start blogging. So I guess I've to tell the story, not in the midlle of the action but away from it from now onwards...
Stay tuned for pics, sights and sounds of Langkawi coming soon...
