Langkawi
Langkawi was like a paradise after 15 hours on Penang. Langkawi is a much smaller island and has a population of only 60 000 compared to Penang’s almost 1 million people. I meet Line and James on Chenang Beach and after Line and I went on a little mission to search for James, we checked in at a motel right on the beach.
Since it was low season on Langkawi, and the whole west coast in Malaysia has rain season, it wasn’t that many people there and not much to do beside sit on the beach and drink tax free alcohol (except Line, cause she is too pregnant). There wasn’t many people around either so we decided to leave after 2 days and head for the east coast and better weather and more atmosphere.
It was raining when we took the ferry to Kelis Kedah, which was a bit of a rough trip, with much more waves then I had from Penang, that really moved the boat in all directions. We then took a taxi to Alor Star, where we took the night bus to Kota Bahru. From there we took another taxi to Kota Bestu where we book places on the 7 am boat to Perhentian Island.
