After a very hungover boat trip we arrived in Langkawi and got in a taxi to Penai Cenang to find our hostel. We were welcomed by the owner, Zul, a very nice Malaysian man. That evening he took us in his car to the night market with some others from the hostel.
The beach at Pentai Cenang is very nice with white sand and not too crowded. I managed to go swimming in the sea every day we were there. Another cool thing about Langkawi was that we by chance bumped in to most of our friends from Penang and Melaka so there was always lots of people to hang out with and drink beers with. We also got a car with Liam and Andy, a cool father-son travelling combo and we went to some cool waterfalls where you can bathe in the water. That day we had also planned to go on the Langkawi cable car, probably the island's most famous attraction. However when we arrived it was raining at the top and they had closed the tills. It's probably lucky that happened as we may not have had the best view. Sorry for that boring anecdote there...!
Another day we went island hopping. This involved being picked up from our hostel in a mini bus by Zul's friend, a very funny guy who laughs at everything. On the way we picked up more people then headed for the jetty to catch a speed boat. It took us to a number of islands. The first had a freshwater lake in the middle, another you could see eagles flying around happily at close range, amazing. After that we went to a final island where there was a nice beach and some cute monkeys.
On our final night in Langkawi we had one last reunion with all our friends on the beach, great fun.
