Pulau Langkawi (February 13-February 19, 2012)

Just a short hop south of the Thailand border, Pulau Langkawi offered some welcome relief from the heat and humidity of mainland Malaysia. We spent a full week here, only leaving the tiny beach village of Pantai Cenang twice – once to go on an “island-hopping” tour and another time to tour the island by scooter. The island-hopping tour gave us our first glimpses of the iconic karst landscapes of Southeast Asia, and also took us to the Pulau Dayang Bunting (home to Pregnant Maiden Lake), which is occupied by terrorizing monkeys that tried to steal Patrick’s wallet. Otherwise, we relaxed on the beach and swam, watched DVD’s from the huge collection at our guesthouse, or played free games of pool at the guesthouse bar. By surprise, we also ran into Thunder here (one of David’s friends that we’d met in Taiping), and we spent two fun evenings on the beach before he headed back to the mainland.
