Caught the fast ferry (2.5 hours) from Penang to Langkawi and soooooo glad we did. Langkawi is a tropical paradise that is just stunning. Friendly Malays, great food, fantastic scenery and cheap beer .... what else could one ask for?
Spent the first day or two sunning ourselves on the beach whilst feeling smug thinking of everyone at work and then hired a 150cc monster machine (not) scooter to explore the island.
Langkawi has probably the best cable car scenic viewpoint we have ever come across ..... they've really thought out how to make the whole thing pretty and whilst it can't possibly blend in with the natural surroundings the whole enterprise somehow compliments the view. Whilst on the top we were also treated to the spectacle of an Indian movie being made (again).
On next to the seven waterfalls, followed by a trip along the coastline and then through the heart of the islasnd to Kuah, the islands only town.
Great place, recommend people to come here to enjoy all the island has to offer.
Next stop ........... Thailand
