First Day in Langkawi

After a long flight to KL and then connecting flight to Langkawi, we started our adventure on a crazy carr ride to Awana Hotel. The drivers in Langkawi are Crazy! They don't give way, they drive on the wrong side of the road, they don't wear helmets and they don't pay attention to any road rules. Wait road rules? I don't think I even saw any speed limit signs! haha. Reaching the hotel, I was awed at the amazing view of the grand fowyer. Will update pictures later of our Hotel.

Our Hotel was not as bad as I thought it would be, although it took us forever to arrive as there were so many rooms, so many corners and so many walkways! But it was worth it when we were greeted with a well air-conditioned room, decent TV, mini fridge and massive bed! Not to mention, the connecting room to our friends on the otherside!

After resting up from our long flight, we made our way out to the hotel pool in which we enjoyed the sight of the eagles soaring through the sky, birds touching the water like stepping stones, sunbaking in the sun to playing on the playground that was situated on the middle of the kids pool. We also played keepings off with a tiny ball the pool boy provided us after we asked for a "ball" to play with. Only to realise that we werent suppose to be playing games in the pool,, which they didn't tell us off for. They also wouldn't let guys wear their shirts in the pool! So strange! nonetheless, it was an awesome experience. Might go back tomorrow for a morning swim =).

We then headed out to have rotti and meegoreng for dinner near the Langkawi Parade Shopping Centre, located in the city of langkawi. It cost us 5MYR! That's equivalent to $3 Aussie Dollars, and thats including the Ice Teh Drink we had! We were so full after, we made our way to the Duty Free shop in which we purchased tax free Alcohol (Russian Vodka, Normal Vodka - 46% alchohol and some other random one...). Now I'm sitting in the Hotel lobby, sipping a glass of vodka lemmonade, using the free wifi and listening to relaxing music. Life can't get better than this right? For now, anyways. haha. Shall be heading off to bed soon, as tomrorow shall bring another adventure. Until then, have a good night!
