Langkawi

We have been on the road for awhile now and we had our first big fight of the trip today. Planning the next leg of our trip and lack of routine had gotten to us and boiled over in frustration. We needed to blow off some steam today.

Originally, we wanted to rent a scooter and drive around the island but they were surprisingly stringent and we ended up renting a car since we didn’t have motorcycle licences. We had found a little mountain, Mt Gunung, to climb which actually had stairs going all the way to the top. 4,287 steps to be exact. We actually really enjoyed it. Along the climb there were different signposts indicating how high you were compared to tall buildings. They do charity climbs here each year like the CN tower climb. The estimated travel time was 2 hours and 15 minutes but we crushed the climb in less than an hour. We enjoyed some tea at a scenic outlook tower at the top.

Back in the car, we stopped a 2 more waterfalls for a quick swim and a secluded beach for a stroll.Read more
