Dizzy heights

I wake this morning and when I go into my bag of clean laundry I find 5 1rm notes I think that it's the money I paid for the laundry with and out of honesty walk down there to hand it back. The lady laughs and says I left the money in one of my pockets so the honesty comes back to me. While im out I get a coffee to take away. Out here it's served in a plastic bag tied with an elastic band and a straw attached to it. I really do worry about the amount of plastic in these countries I've travelled to. Marly and Harvey are coming to collect me this morning and were heading out to the sky bridge. Ruth joins us and we arrive to the sky park in good time. The tickets cost £17 which includes the cable car and art gallery and sky dome. I find this a little expensive as when we reach the top we have to pay an additional £1.20 for the trail to the sky bridge or £3,20 to get the little train. We ascend on the cable car the steepest in tge world and the highest cable car in Malaysia as it takes us past Mount Machingchang and the surrounding Langkawi archipelago. We wander over the middle station then take another ride to the top. The clouds start to clear and we get some wonderful views as we cross the sky bridge. This area is over 500 million years old and as we descend there is a man taking a closer look at one of the rocks. He works for the geotechnical department of the University and shows us what he believes could be a fossil. The cable car takes us back and we experience a 3d show in the dome. We contemplate the gallery and decide we've paid for it so might as well do it. We have so much fun taking photos in these 3d images they even have circles on the floor showing you how to pose. The park is still really quiet and we've been able to enjoy it without queuing. After the park we ride a few minutes to the waterfall where I enjoy a quick dip before heading back to the hostel. In the evening we're invited to a 70th birthday party and when we arrive we are welcomed like we've known them for years. Even though we've already eaten plates of food are put in front of us by Kumahs wife who's Thai. We have a wonderful evening eating drinking and dancing and even get taken to another local bar by a guy called Aiman. We have a couple of beers here then make our way home in time for me to watch the game.Les mer
