Last weekend caught a short flight over to the beautiful, tropical island of Langkawi! The scenery was breathtaking, with crystal clear waters, friendly locals, delicious restaurants and peaceful ambience.
Our plane diverted to Panang due to bad weather conditions in Langkawi after the scariest turbulence I've experienced! The one hour flight from KL ended up taking three and a half hours, although it was worth the wait! We had a spicy, flavoursome Indian lunch at a traditional looking restaurant and retired to our hotel room for a rest. Our hotel looked like an Indian Palace rather than a destination you would recognise throughout Malaysia.
Dinner was at a restaurant literally on the beach - the restaurant's furniture is set up on the sand. We shared a bottle of Sav Blanc and shared a mixture of seafood, satay and salads, as we watched tourists parasailing in the ocean in front of us.
The following morning was a lazy walk along the beach followed by a four hour island hopping tour. A local drives us around on his boat all morning, dropping us off at various islands to swim and explore, picking us up and moving onto the next. Three American girls accompanied us on the same tour; I felt pretty confronted by the straight-forward American culture and accent!
Our afternoon consisted of a full body massage, souvenir shopping, mango ice cream, pool swimming and delicious traditional food. One night's stay wasn't enough to enjoy this magical island, although Monday's working day hindered us from staying longer.
Our flight home was incredibly fast and quite relaxing. Langkawi is a perfect getaway for those wishing to explore, relax and enjoy a peaceful holiday, without the hustle and bustle of a busy city.
So jealous, looks like you had a blast. The pictures you took are gorgeous. xox
