Langkawi

Say hello to Langkawi, Malaysia
It reminded us of Cuba, mainly because when we arrived in Cuba it was a torrential downpour
And that's what we got here.
We needed a boat to get to our room.
Once there it was lovely. A little butterfly key chain
Your own broom outside your room
And a huge can of bug poison. Actually a good thing we had this, it came in handy one night when we a tropical intruder. He didn't last long, That stuff really works. Actually it worked so well that in my earnest to calm my lovely wife I gassed us out of our room for the rest of the evening. It was so bad that when we returned 4 hours later I had to keep the door open for about an hour before we could spend anytime in the room. So in short I endorse Ridsec as a highly effective chemical weapon.
Barbara kept feeding this little guy french fries. I tried to tell her she is contributing to an imminent bird heart attack but she wouldn't listen. At least he's got a full belly
As she sips her bevvy
I've have come to understand that Tiger beer is basically the Budweiser of SE Asia. I have come to like it just as much, so I no longer support Tiger, unless its free of course, but is that really supporting???
We were shocked at how few people were there, especially for a long weekend in Singapore. It pretty much rocked.
A boat flew in and unloaded all this stuff on the beach then disappeared
About 2 minutes later this guy comes strolling down
Finds a way to load everything up
And then he had to push it up the beach
Not an easy job

Deserted beach Loving It
The prototype for the Durians in Singapore

The great hunter stalking squirrel
The Landcons Hotel. Looks like a nice place
Apparently it was a little ambitious in its size though, but nothing an Adidas factory outlet store wont take care of
I saw these things everywhere. Didn't eat one, since there was so much great food around but if I was ever in desperate need of an Oblong Burger, I now know where to get them
I loved this little Bug because it advertised the Red Tomato's Restaurant, but the car was fuscia, I guess the painter was a little color blind
Hi
Mexican in Malaysia, might be good, but we'll never know
Our front door cat, quite pregnant but always present. Thankfully she didn't give birth while we were there
Our first dinner
Some Thai Chicken Curry for Barbara and Vindaloo for me.
Vindaloo gone, check
Thai curry gone, check. Pretty darn good grub if I do say so myself. Good drinks too, wink wink
Our alarm clock
A little pissed that someone has invaded our beach, gonna have to talk to management about this
or maybe go for a massage, yeah that's a better idea
Then a few bevvies. Notice that I am not drinking Budw, I mean Tiger
After a massage and some bevvies, what else do you do
High tech advertising at its finest
Next time I think we stay here, 3 steps to the beach. Perfect
My Honey, me and the playoff beard. Long live the beard
Yellow Cafe, great meat on a stick served here
And lots of it for cheap. Again Barbara was serving up bird heart attacks with the fries
Later that evening we hit another restaurant and a nice bottle of Chianti found us
Along with some crab bruschetta
And prawn fettachini. Damn fine meal. We would have taken a picture of my meal but it was decimated before Barbara could snap a shot
Up to this point we had been wondering where all the people were, not that we were complaining, but we finally found them
They were all at Babylon. We wanted to stay late but it started to rain, it was an out door bar, so we headed back to the room and thats when we realized the bug incident mentioned earlier wasn't over, the poison fog was still thick in the air. Good thing we had beer and wine in the room to weather the chemical attack, and that that cat hadn't given birth on our love seat outside. That would have been ugly


After a long day of doing nothing on the beach, very stressful, we headed to the Bonton Resort for our last night in Langkawi.
Barbara felt right at home.
Beautiful setting for a sunset
And as luck would have it we were joined by a ghecko.
The meal was fantastic. Started with some roti bread with cheese and spices in it, yummy
And then we shared the seafood platter with lobster tails, prawns, snapper and possibly the best calamari that we have had in SE Asia
And then we did something we never do, we ordered dessert and it was AWESOME. We should definately order dessert more often.

We had to catch an early flight the next morning so we checked out the night before. Since our room came with breakfast they asked if we would like them to put it our room that night. Of course we said yes and thought it would be something like some cereal and fruit to put in the fridge
This is what we got, a feast, boiled eggs, huge bread basket, sliced meats, cheeses, fruit plate, two large glasses of OJ, tea and coffee, hell I want to live here
And after all that we finally found what we had been missing on this trip Wafito. Obviously we would be better people if we could eat these everyday.

Next stop, Penang

Bye for now
