Everyone we talked to when we said we were going to Langkawi said how beautiful it was. We were quite sad to leave Penang after four weeks there, it felt like home. Quite sad that was until we got to the place we had booked in Langkawi. A haven by the water’s edge. No beach but it wasn’t necessary as it had a glorious infinity pool metres from the water’s edge which was drastically reduced at high tide!!
We were there for 4 nights then moved to a small place in the hills for a further 4 nights, so we hired a car as there was no transport to get in and out of the place. Whilst there we went to two night markets with as much food as there were commercial stalls. The roads other than the main roads were very narrow and driving at night made trickier by the odd cow standing in the road. Back to the Ocean Residence for a further two nights, where we got the same room and the staff were so happy to see us back they put fruit in the room and a bag of crisps I had left behind was still in the cupboard. Could believe they were cutting fresh coconuts beside to pool so of course we had to partake. The water is allegedly better for you in the warm climate that fresh water.
