Yesterday (Wednesday) we packed up in Penang and got on the “super fast ferry” to Langkawi. Of course, what that really means is they pack 150ish people on a big speed boat, and then speed through choppy waters for 3 hours (!!) until you arrive in Langkawi. Fortunately we took some preventive Dramamine, so not only were our tummies fine, we also got some naps on the ride. Others on the boat were not so happy about it (we read reviews beforehand and knew what to expect).
Almost immediately we found this smallish island to be our speed. Just after arriving at our Airbnb, the hosts (who have 4 detached apartments, but also live on the site), offered to drop us off at a nearby restaurant. Super friendly! And the restaurant was very chill, and very good.
This morning after our host prepared us breakfast (part of the deal at this place, but it was wonderful), they also hooked us up with a rental car for a great price – and drove us to the airport to get it! Again… So nice.
Anyhow, we then spent the whole day out visiting Temurun Waterfall (nice waterfall, but mucho monkeys), Kilim Geoforest Park, Cenang Beach, and then finally grabbing dinner from the Temonyong Night Market. We only have 2 more full days here (leave on Sunday) but we’re excited for them! Onto the pics…
