Travel Diary: Day 4 in Langkawi

27 Jan 2010
Last day here at this peaceful town, we got ourselves ready for the checkout in the morning. The plan was to pack, checkout, be on the road till about 2 hours close to the check-in time at the airport for the flight at 5:00pm.

We had a few places in mind that we wanted to cover before we take off.

So, we were all ready at about 9:30am in the morning, used the last coupon we had for the breakfast and came back up to pack. They didn't even bother to check the room while checking out, the coffee we took and the water bottles were all free. I thought we might need to pay for them.

The luggage and stuffs went to the boot of the car, there we went all the way to Kuah town again, this time on our own, not by the bus. I was on the passenger seat looking at the map and trying to navigate. He was at the wheel looking all happy.

We have managed to take a pic of us in the car. using the timer of course. It's worth a 20 secs of stiff smiles.

Langkawi Fair Shopping Mall was one of the attractions listed in the guide book and we wanted to visit the place just for once to see what's there to offer. But when we arrived at that place, we were both a little surprised. It's not really the town's fault not having a big mall, it's ours to expect something close to a mall found at any neighborhood in Singapore. Here's the pic of the mall. It is a mall, I swear!

Although it is small in size, there are some few familiar shops such as Nike, Adidas, FOS and Body Glove. We've bought a couple of tops each from the Body Glove and a few souvenirs to give away. This small town was close to Thailand just across the border, so we realised it's very much Thailand influenced, in terms of both food and the shopping items. Most of the things you could find in here can be found in Thailand too. But, in Thailand could have been cheaper thou.

On the way from Langkawi Fair, we routed ourselves to the Cable Car station to see if we're in time for the Cable Car timing and to find out how it looks like. It was 10Km away from the town. We rested for awhile at this viewpoint to enjoy the nature and to take a few pics.

He usually could pose better for the camera. See what I mean?

There were monkeys roaming the place on the way to Cable Car Station. I wonder if they do attack those on the motor bike. They looked rather harmless though. But I'm sure, if you happen to walk pass with a pack of food or sweet drink in hand, they will attack the food.

From a far, we could already see the cable car station up the mountain that looked so high we thought it's impossible for the cable cars to reach there.

We were running out of time (okay, I fess, we were too scared to try this), so, we didn't take the cable cars. Instead we drove to the nearby attractions like Seven Wells and the Oriental Village.

We had our KFC lunch at the Harbour Park - one of the attractions in Langkawi as well. A beautiful place with nice boats and yachts parked at the harbour, for a moment it looks straight out of a movie.

The beach Harbour Park.

The Langkawi version of KFC.

The Harbour Park. Love that small boat (at the front) in particular. Her name is Bella Mia II. How Cute!

After the meal, we made our way back to the Airport cuz we don't want to be late for the flight. We arrived at the airport at the nice timing of 3:30 when the counter is already open for check in. So, We checked our baggage in and had a cup of coffee each at the Starbucks. By the way, their wireless connection suck.

Before we know it, it was time for boarding. And that's when our journey ends at Langkawi.

We have enjoyed ourselves. Good Bye Langkawi and thanks for all the fond memories to last for many more years to come.
