Langkawi - synopsis

We are about to leave Langkawi in a couple of hours and I wanted to write up our experience here. Eight days and seven nights on the island, quite a vacation.

The things we enjoyed:
-renting a scooter for the week - made it very easy to explore the island, get water and groceries and visit various beaches
-Langkawi cable car - took us to the one of the peaks on the island and we had a wonderful view of the island below
-7 Wells Waterfalls - fresh water pools of water right before a waterfall - a long hike on a hot day was rewarded with a dip in a cold freshwater pool!
-Indian food - we had Indian food for supper on 5 evenings. Yes, we DO like Indian food!!!
-our small hotel - we spent a lot of time in our hotel as it had a really nice setup outside for sitting and reading. Each of us read three books or more so we really made good use of this area.
-beach - the beach was ok, and the water was really warm. Almost like bathwater.
-doggies at the hotel - the owner of our hotel had 4 dogs and a cat, plus three of the neighbour's dogs added up to a one cozy dog-friendly place. We sure felt safe!

In the next couple of hours we will be flying to Kuala Lumpur, spending the night at the airport and then flying early in the morning for Siem Reap, Cambodia. The famous Angkor Wat temples are located there. My next post will be from Cambodia!
