Just landed London10 hours ago, and I am still adjusting to the cold weather here. As always its difficult for me to sleep when its to cold even after increasing the heater inside my room. Not to bored you with my whinning of the weather, here’s the review continuation of our Langkawi trip. If you are lost, you can read about my first Langkawi review here.

Day 2: We are still in day two of our trip. As I said, Langkawi is a heaven for foreigner and local alike. I met an Australian who actually brought his yatch and dock it into one of the many jetty in Langkawi.

But, I finished my day shopping with the rest of the family. As usual, the ladies bought a lot of kitchen ware while I spend my time browsing through the booze that they have to offer. Bought a unique Johnny Walker bottle for RM135.00, and two bottles of BIN888 Australian wine. Of course we drank one bottle of the wine. I kept the other one for future utilisation. End our night by eating in a chinese restaurant called “Lucky Restaurant”. Sorry to say, I am giving this restaurant a one of five rating due to the bad food with a high price tag even for Malaysian standard. Nope, wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Day 3: We woke-up really early with sightseeing in mind. We started our day by driving through Cenang Beach and Padang Mat Sirat. Would love to tell the history behind Padang Mat Sirat but I hate history so let’s forget about that section. Maybe next time. Visited some of the beaches from Kok Beach up to Rhu Beach. Nothing interesting as compared to my already beautiful hometown, Kota Kinabalu. Went to the cable car but we decided not to use it. Anyway, I’ve tried the one in Cape Town and its much more scenic that this one. Also went to Langkawi Geopark and it looks so superficial with a lot of expensive price tag in the vincinity. Very impressive but that’s about it.

The even have a crocodile farm which I don’t bother to see. We have lots of crocodile in the Sarawak river to see. But I did stop by at the horse stable to let Gavyn watch the horse. He looks thrilled, and maybe because that’s his first time to a horse.

In the evening, we spent a little bit more time shopping before going to the beach. End our night at a good chinese restaurant called something like “May Hiang Restaurant”. I would totally recommend this restaurant. It provide good food with a funny boss characteristic. Apparently, this is also the favourite spot for foreigners.

Day 4: as the flight is around 3pm, we spent our last day packing our stuff so we can outlaw the immigration. For your info, if you are in the island less than 72 hours, any item brought out will be taxed. How much? A whopping 30% of the value. But I guess you can bring a bottle of 1 liter liquor and 2 packs of cigarettes if you are there more than 48 hours.

In summary, Langkawi has a lot to offer for those who just wanted to getaway from the city and have fun with the family. I believe the family has a good time being together. My advise rent a car and browse the island your way and importantly enjoy in whatever you are doing

Got to go now, I have meetings in few hours time.
