43. Langkawi

While staying with my friends we went to Langkawi for a long weekend. It is a beautiful holiday island.... We hired a car for the weekend, the easiest way to get around. We had breakfast by a marina with some fabulous boats...


And then walked round the bay and explored a fabulous beach nearby.... And swam too of course! 






And then what better way to spend the afternoon... back at our hotel by the infinity pool...


Later we had a wonderful meal at a nearby boutique hotel


With a lotus pond just beyond the dining area. This was it at sunset...


Then we went to a blues night... Wonderful music and atmosphere til the heavens opened and that put a damper on things... Literally! 

The next day we did a morning jet skiing tour. We visited some of the many islands off Langkawi which form a marine park


We went to an island with a wonderful freshwater pool where we swam. We saw monkeys, lots of eagles... Sea eagles and brown eagles sweeping majestically over us. They are fed at a certain spot each day and do they know it! The eagle is the emblem of Langkawi and there is a huge statue of an eagle by the ferry terminal....

The next day we went on a snorkelling trip to another nearby island 


This was our boat...! What are they trying to tell us!


After a fabulous day snorkelling we caught the ferry back to Penang, past a marina with lots of beautiful boats. 


Langkawi is definitely a holiday island, and a very beautiful one at that.
