Our final bit of Malaysia has been a two week stay on Langkawi just below Thailand. The island is a bit more of a holiday destination with lots of very nice beaches and an industry geared up towards visitors. We stayed at a beautiful place called Soluna guest house just off the main resort town of pantai cenang, Claudia and Aidi the owners house is pictured below with Aidi tending the fire with one of their cats keeping him company
...one of their many cats...
....many many cats....
...and theneighbours cats. Lets just say there were a lot of cats, well looked after and well fed which was nice to see
We got our first taste of the Japanese ladies bathing dress sense much to Louise's amusement
We travelled the island extensively and managed to see some nice wildlife like this macaque stealing a bag of crisps from an unsuspecting ladies bag
A very lovely new to me species of monkey called the dusky leaf, a beautiful but very shy creature who only gave me a quick glimpse of his face to fire a shot off
There were plenty of lovely spots to see and the waterfalls were just about still falling despite the weather on the coast being sunny and the temperature sticking around the mid 30's
LAngkawi was lovely and somewhere that both me and Lou enjoyed immensely, the placed we stayed was situated in farmland that gave us a peaceful base from which on several days we didn't leave. The beach was close enough to walk to and the food again was excellent. The lady who lived next door was happy to knock up a main meal for around 60p and made the best milo (really sweet iced chocolate milk) i've had since we got here. We have almost relaxed too much here and could have stayed longer but we feel its time to move on so tomorrow we make a move to Bangkok.
