Langkawi Day 2 - Day 4

Langkawi Day 2 – Cable Car and Waterfall and Bridge

On Day two of Langkawi, we headed up to the Cable Cars that allowed us to walk across a bridge overlooking the mountains and sea. To our dismay, the cable cars had been temporarily closed upon our arrival which made us quite disappointed. It also made us disappointed because maintenance was scheduled for today, which means the cable cars would be closed for about 14 days. Thinking we wouldn’t get a chance to go on the cable cars to cross the giant bridge, some of us rode around the shops on a segway, while some of us relaxed on benches overlooking the pond. It reminded me the of Chinese Garden in Sydney. On the spur of a moment, we headed off to view the waterfall in langkawi. It was an amazing view! We took lots of photos and even saw some crazy monkeys on the road! (not to mention the cows!)

We had to hike up a thousand stairs before we finally reached the top of the top of the mountain, which was the bottom of the waterfall! Haha. The monkeys crept up around us, and freaked us out! After spending some time at the waterfall we made our way back to try our luck with the cable cars, however while waiting in the car we witnessed a monkey stealing a can of coke from a motorcylcle in front of us. It was crazy! We were all happy to find out that the cable car was now operating. So we made our way up to the top, took some pictures of the view and then made our way across the scary bridge. We finished the day by eating a massive crab meal on the streets before finishing off with coconuts at 12am. Except, the coconuts did not taste as good as I thought they would, so that was disappointing.

Langkawi Day 3 - Snorkling

Today was a tiring day from the moment we woke up at 6am to get ready to have breakfast and then make our way to the bus for a trip to the beach for snorkeling. We were frustrated at the time we had to wait as we picked up other passengers from other hotels. However that was soon forgotten as we reached the island (about 2 hrs later -__-“)

My first experience of snorkeling was amazing. Although the beginning was slow and disappointed as I couldn’t see any of the fishes but once we swam around for a bit, they started appearing. After lunch we threw pieces of bread at the fish which awed us as they all started attacking for more food! It was amazing. We saw some amazing colored fishes and even got to see some sharks! We then fed the fishes apples…haha that was quite interesting.

We laughed as the boys enjoyed their time in the water, while the girls sat on the beach sunbaking. We finally left the beach to head back to our hotel at 2:30pm. After refreshing up and resting for a little bit, we headed out to dinner at 6:30pm. We finished the night by having a few drinks back at the hotel, playing the waterfall pyramid game and the “I have never” game. It was fun and relaxing, with us all giggling by the end of the night!

Langkawi Day 4 – Jet ski and Banana boat

Day 4 of Langkawi was the most exhausting day of all! We went out to the beach to do Jet Skiing and the Banana Boat. I was scared at first as I was riding the jet ski on my own, but after a few minutes I was speeding on the water like crazy! I loved it! It was definitely an awesome first experience! There were a few times in which I thought I was going to fall into the water, but after learning to control the jet ski, I didn’t have to worry!

We were on the Jet ski for about 30 minutes and it cost us 100RM, discounted from 150RM which was pretty good considering the couple before us payed 150RM each. So that worked out to be about $33 AUD! The banana boat was about 20RM. It was the most painful Water Ride I have ever been on! There was 5 of us on the boat, holding on to these handles in front of us, in which were hard to grip onto! We were pulled along by the guy in a jet ski, and he would turn left and right at certain times, making the banana boat sway more to one side, making us all fall into the water!

The second time I fell into the water, I hit my head against someone soo hard it was throbbing the next day! After that, we managed to stay on the boat for most parts, with the occasional loss of a passenger or two! Hahaha. Thank god for those life jackets! LOL! After that exhausting day of water activities, Daniel and I made our way to a shopping centre that was quite far, but it was pretty decent for langkawi. We took some nice photos and had lunch at a chicken shop. Best Hainenese chicken I’ve ever tasted!

We then finished the night by experiencing Sheesha (or as the Malaysians call it, Chicha! Haha), we had 3 different types of flavours that included strawberry, grape and Apple. Everyone seemed to enjoy the strawberry one the most. It made my mind soo slow, I could barely walk back to the hotel! I don’t think I would ever do it again. Haha. But it was interesting as a first time. Was quite fun trying to see how much smoke we could all blow out. LOL.
