      Langkawi/Retour en thailande

      February 13 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

      Découverte de Langkawi, une île dans le nord de la Malaisie, proche de la frontière avec la Thaïlande.
      On y restera une bonne semaine en profitant bien de la plage/ se remettre au sport/ et manger bien évidemment !
      Une super découverte l’île est vraiment belle, il faisait super beau, la végétation est vraiment particulière ici !
      On se décide de bouger après une semaine pour retourner en Thaïlande , on choisit koh lanta, une île où l’on était juste passé en 2018, cette fois-ci on y reste 5jours, on profite encore bien de la plage/sport/ nourriture(retour du padthai 😍)/ on visite l’île en scooter, ici c’est bien différent de la Malaisie, tout le monde roule torse nue/ sans casque, beaucoup plus de touristes.
      Mais bon on est en haute saison c’est normal, et on a trouvé un logement proche d’une plage sans trop de monde avec des couchers de soleil de fou !
      On a aussi fait une journée d’excursion aux « 4iles » une journée bien rempli avec de très bonne découverte 2 plages paradisiaques aussi belle qu’aux Philippines ! et des spots de snorkelling vraiment impressionnants aussi (on a vu une murène de 1m50/2m dans l’eau (un boa des mers comme dirait Sarah ))
      On a manger comme des rois à midi et nager dans une grotte sur 50m, une journée vraiment cool ! 👍
      Maintenant direction Koh samui une île au sud Est de la Thaïlande !      Read more

      Chill day

      May 8, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ 🌧 30 °C

      Today is mothers day here. I wake at 230 and set up my stream for the football. I've put my headphones on so I can watch it on my balcony in the hammock. I watch the game and although im thankful we get an equaliser I'm devastated that we have lost our opportunity for winning the league. I return to bed for a few hours and arrange to meet Annie and Judith for breakfast. I spend the day on my own today just chilling on the beach. I am always very aware of respect and have difficulty because its a very Muslim country here and as I lay on the beach in my bikini apart from a few other Europeans most of the women are in the water with clothes on to cover up. Not really a place I can rock my Bridget bardot look but the tan needs topping up so I take myself to a quite area. It's a little bit crazy on the beach as its full of water sports- jet skis paragliding and boats all speeding around without separate areas for people to swim, it's a bit of an accident waiting to happen. It's been so busy here but today is definitely quieter. As I head out this evening I walk past a seafood restaurant where the have lobsters and Fish in tanks so you can pick your own but one of the tanks has 2 dead fish in it so I keep on walking and end up on the beach with the sunsetting and take a prime spot because I'm early. The fire show is really impressive here and it's on every night, I just thought it might be something they did for the holidays. I'm joined a little later by Judith and Annie and we decided to head for a comfier seat on the bean bags on the beach but when I pull a bean bag over the guy says we're not allowed to do this and one of us must sit on a mat. It's crazy and I can't really understand the reasoning behind it. We look at the menu on our separate bean bags and it's 15 rm for a non alcoholic drink and to be honest I'm ready for a beer . The girls and I decide to go to a quiet spot further down the beach and get a takeaway beer from 7/11. I'm so glad we did. Judith Annie and I stroll our way through a private resort and I have no costume so get in the water in my knickers and bra. I light my cigarette but The waves are pretty intense and after a few wipeouts we begin to see plankton in the water.with the fishing boat lights in the distance and a storm in the sky it really is a wonderful moment shared with these two wonderful ladies. They live pretty much opposite so as I walk back on my own I treat myself to an ice cream and watch the city game.Read more

      Rock lobster

      May 21, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      I wake this morning and feel rough again but after my early morning coffee at Raos I do feel a little better. Its quite funny because I don't even have to order anymore they just know what I like. I speak with the owner and he gives me little samples of some of the food dishes, a pumpkin dish and a curry, although im not into curry for breakfast I enjoy it. Uncle Johnny appears and as we're sitting there a guy comes in who obviously has some issues. They explain that he's homeless and although you don't have to be homeless here they feed him and give him a drink. I stroll back to my chalet and chat with my two new neighbours and we all make our way out for something to eat. After lunch we walk to the shopping mall just to abuse the air conditioning and in here are massage chairs. We all take a seat and for 2 rm 40p enjoy 6 minutes of pummelling and manipulation from our legs to our backsides. The boys grab a bear but I've opted for an alcohol free day today as I want to save myself for tomorrow. We sit on the beach for half an hour but its so hot today we make our way back towards base. We stop off in Cinnamon and I enjoy a cold coke but as I go outside for a cigarette capture some activity out of the corner of my eye. A closer inspection shows a fisherman dropping off his catch of lobster of the day delivered in a box of sawdust I watch in awe as he fishes these snappy little fellas out of the box to sell to the restaurant. He puts his hand in and it's like a magic trick where these bright red lobsters keep coming out of this small box. I make my Way back and a little later in the evening Peter and Joe invite me to dinner. Instead of taking a left we take a right and end up in a Syrian restaurant. I enjoy a lamb kebab followed by Turkish tea and head home for another alcohol free night.Read more

      Super Sunday

      May 22, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      So today is the big day. I don't know what I'm going to write about once the football season is over but at least I'll be able to sleep through the night. I feel very anxious so have booked a boat trip to while away a few hours this afternoon as the game doesn't start till 11pm. I head down the beach first for a few hours as I've woken up nice and early after a good night's sleep . Just as I set up my towel the biggest black clouds come overhead bit I decide to stick it out and with how windy it is today they are gone as soon as they arrived. When I take a dip in the sea its really choppy and I wonder whether the boat will go out as there aren't any jetskis out today which is unusual for the weekend. After a bite of lunch I head back for a shower and to grab my gopro then sit and wait for the bus to pick me up. At 215 Eddie comes around the corner and when I say the bus hasn't arrived he admits he's forgotten to book it. I walk the seafront for an hour its so much busier here at weekends and as i pass pizza hut decide to indulge in a bit of western food for a change. Because its very Muslim orientated here you cant get your typical pizzas but i order the chicken and pineapple and its delicious. When i leave the restaurant i have a little chuckle because they have a police parking area outside and the hatchback is open and 2 police officers are sat inside at a table and chairs eating their dinner. In the evening the original plan was to go to Rockafellas but we start the evening in Flo's. Its a bar on the top of one of the seafront hotels and it's really nice. Air conditioning and a big screen and reasonable prices. Pretty much the whole group from Rainbow joins us and we watch as both games unfold . Its quite crazy as we see the liverpool supporters getting the news of Villa scoring before we do. The game goes to the wire and sadly we don't get the results we want but we've given it our everything and that's all that counts. YNWA JFT97Read more

      Last full day

      May 29, 2022 in Malaysia ⋅ 🌧 29 °C

      I wake this morning but am sad as I know this is definitely my last full day. Nathan my fellow liverpool supporters is there and Uncle Johnny joins us a little while later. The chef has cooked a new dish called lala cockles they're a certain kind of cockle with the prettiest shell. I've been bitten again and I don't know what by but I think I was when we were at the steamboat the other night as its all at the backs of my legs and I think its probably something that was in the wooden benches. Nathan gives me some cream to put on it and it does ease the pain. I manage a good half hour phone call with Amber filling me in on the scenes back in my home city of Liverpool. Im sad to have missed the festivities but am also proud in the support the team has around the world. The weather today is crazy and the wind is like a mini hurricane. I've been invited to Eddie's birthday party tonight and grab a quick beer in flos to get a view of the sea. The waves are the biggest I've seen since travelling and I'm glad I'm indoors as sheets of corrugated roofing are getting lifted off the beachfront buildings. The guys offer me a lift to the supper club and I'm really glad to have gone here as its a great opportunity to say goodbye or Jumpa lagi (see you soon). I stay a few hours the head to Rainbow bar as Uncle Johnny is playing tonight and I gave him my word that I would go. Michael and Eunice are here and I really enjoy my evening spending time listening to music throughout the time I have 2 songs dedicated to me. I'm leaving on a jet plane and the Malaysian song Fiona. My heart is heavy as I say goodbye to these wonderful people who have made my time on Langkawi so special but it's 1am and my alarm is set for 730am so I bid my goodbye s with a little rendition of "time to say goodbye ".Read more

      May 5, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      Einreise per Boot: Wir sind nun in Malaysia. Die Sprache, die Währung, die Kultur und das Essen sind merklich anders. Wir sind von der grünen Natur hier weiterhin begeistert. Es gibt grüne Felder, dicht bewachsene Berghänge, Wasserfälle und viele Affen. Mit der Seilbahn ging es heute auf 700 Meter hoch und wir hatten einen faszinierenden Blick über die Insel.Read more

      Langkawi

      August 15, 2023 in Malaysia

      Our trip is almost coming to an end and it seemed like a good idea to chill on beautiful Langkawi island. Emerald coloured waters, white sandy beaches, kids activities, duty free shopping, not bad after 4 months of travelling, planning, organizing, being parents 24/7…..

      But the weather forecast was not too great, rain rain rain. Is the rainy season not supposed to start Sept-Oct? Hey… didn’t we have almost only rain on Jeju island in South Korea and is this going to be a repeat? Well, let’s then start in a 3D art ‘museum’ and we will take it from there what Langkawi is going to bring us.      Read more

      Tag 55 | Ankunft Langkawi🏝

      October 25, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Heute war wieder Abreise angesagt.
      Unsere Fähre nach Langkawi (Malaysia) ging um 15Uhr.
      So hatten wir am Morgen noch Zeit für den Strand. ☀️

      Um 18Uhr kamen wir auf Langkawi an. Plus eine Stunde Zeitverschiebung eingerechnet.

      Wir bezogen unser neues Zimmer und mietet einen Roller.

      Dann ging es an den Strand Cenang.
      Dort gab es Abendessen und Feuershows🔥

      Beim Gang durch die Einkaufsstraße kamen wir an vielen Duty-Free Shops vorbei. Denn die Waren auf der Insel sind steuerfrei. Man fühlte sich wie an einem Flughafen😄...

      Mario hat ein bisschen Schokolade eingekauft... 🙄🙉      Read more

      Day 91 - Langkawi

      December 7, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      FOUND PENGUINS!
      Feeling a bit travel weary today, so had an easy morning and visited the aquarium. Our taxi driver suggested that there were much better places we should be going to ... and was probably right. The fish tunnel was ok but sadly the penguins, seal, and otters had very little space to move around. We left feeling a bit uncomfortable about the whole place.
      After a late lunch we hired a couple of scooters and went for a tour of the island, stopping at Tanjung Rhu beach. This was a very idyllic location, but didn't quite live up to Koh Kood standards - I think we've been spoilt!      Read more

      Langkawi

      December 20, 2023 in Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      Langkawi (steht glaub für "Grosser Adler) ist eine Insel im Norden Malaysias. Ich kam am Nachmittag mit der Fähre in meinem 5. Land an. Nach dem Check-In im Hostel, gabs ein Bierchen in der "Lobby", wo ich dann auch gleich einen Schweden namens Rasmus kennenlernte. Wir gingen dann zusammen mit 2 Holländern Streetfood essen und ein paar Bierchen sippen. Jedoch merkt man, dass Malaysia mehr muslimisch geprägt ist, denn es gibt nicht allzu viele Bars, welche Alkohol ausschenken (und Schweinefleisch gibts eh kaum).
      An Tag 2 mietete ich mit Rasmus einen Roller und wir düsten zum bekannten CableCar (Gondel auf einen Berg), von wo wir eine coole Aussicht geniessen konnten. Das ganze war mir aber viel zu massentouristisch und das Schlange stehen ging mir auch auf den Wecker😅 Anzumerken ist, dass es hier viel weniger europäische Touristen gibt, aber mehr indische, malaysische und sonst welche asiatischen. Zudem gibt es aus irgendeinem Grund viele Duty Free Shops auf der Insel🤷🏼‍♂️, dort entdeckte ich auch Toblerone und Ovomaltine Produkte 😍 Das Meer bzw der Beach war nicht ganz so schön wie in Thailand, aber noch immer gut🙂 Tag 2 liessen wir mit einem "Döner" und mit ein paar Bierchen ausklingen. Tag 3 war der beste Tag: Wir fuhren erneut mit dem Roller in den Norden zu einem unscheinbaren Wasserfall. Überraschenderweise war es aber sehr nice dort, denn es hatte wenige Leute,man konnte baden und der Wasserfall war schön.😁
      Anschliessend fuhren wir weiter, dabei passierten wir die Landfill/Abfalldeponie der Insel (musste natürlich anhalten und mein kritisches Auge darauf werfen😅). Wir hielten per Zufall bei einem sehr farbigen verlassenen (aber schönen) Buddhistentempel an und wurden dort vom leidenschaftlichen Tempelbauer rumgeführt und auch zu einem "geheimen Tempel" gebracht. Wir wurden dabei sogar "gepunktet/gesegnet" und mussten heiliges Wasser trinken😂 Er verlangte für all das nicht mal etwas! Ist selten.. Wir gaben ihm aber natürlich etwas🙂
      Weiter gings zur Adlerstatue in der Hauptstadt Langkawis und dann back to the Hostel. Nach mühsamem Buchen der Fähre, weil die Kreditkarte irgendwie nicht kompatibel mit den Zahlungssystemen hier ist, sahen wir einen der besten Sonnenuntergänge meiner Reise am Beach😍
      An Tag 4 jetzt gehts ab nach George Town, wo ich auch Heiligabend verbringe.      Read more
