Day 15 Another Day in Paradise

This was a day to remember. Arrived in Langkawi around 8.30 a.m. and our tour was leaving at 9. We had chosen to do the Island Hopping tour. I am so happy we picked this one as it was fantastic. Into a little 8 person boat and off we sped, around several magical islands, saw the bats in the caves, and the Pregnant Maiden Island. Our boat driver was lovely and so eager to show us his homeland. First stop was at the lake, lots of steps to eventually reached the lake, it was a scene out of a movie, with hundreds of people dipping into the water, I just had a sense of a cleansing ceremony. The monkeys were abundant and very cheeky....we were with a lovely couple, John and Catherine who is vision impaired and the monkeys tried to grab her cane. George jumped into the lake to cool off and as it was fresh water he didn't just bob back up as he usually does!! Next stop was to see the eagles flying around in a sort of bay. Magnificent sight. Just being there and floating amongst all this was amazing. We had another stop for a bbq lunch, which we did not expect. and a swim in the beautiful beach. Free beer and soft drinks. How lucky we are!! Any future WC, this was one tour we thoroughly recommend. It was very steamy but the spray from the little boat was so cooling. Arrived back around 1.30, quick shower and off to the duty free booze shops.
