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.

Day 15 Georges's booze stop

Another port and another booze refill for George. The Drambuie is so cheap here, he just had to stock up. He now has the decanting down to a fine art,  the bottles don't even leave the bag now. In fact the local police walked past him and didn't even catch him. Once again I downed several Ice Tea bottles, this is the perfect colour match for his decanting. The cabin steward made a comment about how much we must like Iced Tea!! Other passengers said they knew where George had been after they saw 3 empty 1 litre bottles sticking out of the bin!! That should keep him going for a while, 6 litres in the stock pile. For those of you who don't know him, I can tell you that at home he hardly drinks. He is just having a ball. His liver may never be the same. At $24 for 1 litre. its so cheap.

Back onboard for sailaway, what a sight. Langkawi is a must see again place for us.

Day 14 Port Kelang

We did not have a tour organised as we have been here before and did the Towers visit. So Princess put on a shuttle bus to the local shopping centre, $7 each way per person which was ideal for us. About a 30 minutes drive and we were there. Lovely shops, cheap as chips for shoes, I was restrained and only bought 1 yes 1 pair. I could have gone crazy and brought enough back to open a shop but I have had enough of George calling me Imelda!!.Got back onboard around 2 p.m., relaxed and had dinner then went to a show. A mexican singer who really should have stayed in his nursing home. He was woeful, but that is just our opinion. We have a tour organised for Langkawi so had a reasonably early night, well 12.15 .a.m.
