MALAYSIA - Lankawri

As we queued to board the ferry and have our passports checked a girl came up to me and asked us what country we were currently in. I replied with the answer but couldn't help thinking the same thing about the previous 3 months! ha.

I can honestly say that the ferry journey on the western side of the Malay peninsula was a lot better than those to and from Ko Toh. It was smooth and calm and i certainly didn't hear the slightest hint of a wretch.

Langkawri is a beautiful island with beaches of the most powdery flour like sand that feels excellent between the toes. It has one or two very popular areas including the area we stayed in which has restaurants fronting the beach. Other areas including the one we visited the following day, in a rented car, include large waterfalls and a view point at 800m up with incredible views. Linked to the viewpoint was an incredible curved bridge hung from one centrally located structure. It was however a slightly unnerving experience to cross it, so much so Karl decided to wait for us on one side. After, we continued our drive around some of the island and took in the scenery.

After Langkowri we got on yet another boat, this time to Penang.
