Day 18
Chenang (and further afield) Langkawi
December 5, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ 🌧 24 °C
Now we're cooking with gas. This is a lot more like it.
Google tells me that my guesthouse for last night and the next 3 is just over a kilometre. It feels much longer. Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah (recognised spelling, two adjoining beaches) are one of the premier beach-type places on the island. That's obvious as the town is totally geared up for tourists and travellers.
Had my first helping of dragon fruit chunks - mmmn, strange but nice.
Went for a swim on Cenang Beach - the water was actually warm even though it was overcast.
Then (impulsively) I hired an absolutely beast of a motorsickel (photo, proof). £6 for the day, £10 deposit in case I nick it and ride it all the way home.
I circumnavigated the island, anti-clockwise, dropping in first at Durian Perangin Waterfalls: pretty interesting and free.
Next proper stop was at Datai Bay. It's tiny and cute, out of the way so not many people make the journey there. Another swim.
As I promised to return the beast at 8pm, and I didn't know how long the journey would take; got back on the road and headed for Cenang, arriving around 5pm.
Legs aching, legs scratched, knackered (again). I think a lazy night in sounds good.Read more

Day 19
Lazy Day in Pantai Chenang area
December 6, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
I'm happy to report that I didn't do much today.
Well, I'm supposed to be on holiday.
Had breakfast (something local and unpronounceable) and ambled to the beaches. I chose Tengah this time, as it's reported to be a tad more quiet and classy, and I hadn't been there before.
Gorgeous warm water; restful swim. I just had to dodge the parasailing boats as they came on and off the beach. Sunbathing - it had to be done.
I've booked a 'Mangrove River Safari' for tomorrow morning. It sounds okay and it's only about £10 in equivalent money.
Tired, leg aches, but still smiling..Read more

Day 20
Last Full Day, Langkawi Mangroves
December 7, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
After a biblical storm overnight, it was up early for a 9am pick-up for the Mangrove River Safari.
We set off at a dash up to the north of the island in a minibus. Unfortunately, the man leading the tour was too fond of his own voice, which got drowned out by the chatter in the reception area. Several of we paying customers were fed up of his endless and ineffective intro talk. We set off eventually.
I'd sprayed anti-bug treatment on my arms, legs etc., just to be sure.
All things considered, it was pretty good. A tunnel under the rocks wasn't available to our boats as the water level was to high. (Didn't know it was tidal.)
Not bad - a morning's entertainment.
What I need to do this afternoon now is to plan a bit more carefully my onward journey from Langkawi to Kuta Baru on the east coast of Malaysia.Read more
