Once we arrived in Langkawi we all travelled together to Pantai Chenang which is where the backpackers stay.....the likes of us just cannot afford The Datai ( thats for u Suz!) but we did visit the datai on our day trip( info to follow!)
We found rooms for all of us at the Rainbow lodge, which was cheap, cheerful and well located - bargain! After going to get something to eat we met Jet ( whom we met in Koh Tao and wanted to travel through Malaysia with us - consequently we have convinced her to bin off half of her trip and meet us in Oz for her birthday and then continue to Cairns and the whole of NZ! What can i say she loves us! hehe!
The following day we woke up rather late! oooops! so spent the rest of the day on the beach chilling out, the beaches here are beautiful ;-)
We got up early( ish) the next day and hired cars for the day. We had to hire two being that there was 6 of us so i drove one! I decided it would be ok as they drive on the left too and have right hand drive. So we made our way to The Seven Wells waterfalls and the cable cars but a HUGE storm broke out on route......we decided to brave the walk to the top of the waterfalls though and it was a great view ( picutres to be uploaded soon!), the cable car we gave a miss as it was so cloudy that it would have been a waste. Then we reached the far north and saw the datai and monkeys along the road. We thought they were rather cute but then some locals told us to be careful as they steal.....we ran haha!
After a detour to starbucks ( at the port - we were in heaven!) we headed to the night market and tried some local food which was yuuuuumy! We gave our cars back pretty late as we didnt wanna give them up!
We had such a lovely time in Langkawi, its definatly somewhere i will visit again :-)
