Pantai Cenang, Pulau Langkawi, Malaysia

That morning we got on another train which took us to Arau, the train was packed with school children and took alot longer than it should have, which seems to happen frequently here in Malaysia. Then we got a taxi to Kuala Perlis and made it just in time to sneak through the back door of the ferry to Pulau Langkawi. On the way we met a wild beast called andy, who turned out to be an alright guy.When we arrived we got a taxi to the nicest part of the island Pantai Cenang. We found our first nights accommadation at about 10:30 at night after being rejected by many full guesthouses, which wasnt so bad as the one we got was directly on the beach, next to a Reggae bar, with live music. The next day Sam got up early to get us a hut in the best guesthouse in town (Gecko) with the most amazing milkshakes, atmosphere and wildlife a guesthouse could have. We wake up to the sound of cockerills and monkeys every morning not forgetting the taste of the delicious banana pancakes! Chilled on the beach for a couple days and went for nice Malay food in the nights with our new friends, with a bit of hermit crab hunting and beer drinking on the beach in the evening. Today we went on a great island hopping boat trip for £5, the trip first took us to the lake of the pregnant maiden. From the ocean the hills look like a pregnant lady lying down, inside there is a fresh water lake which was great fun to swim in. On arrival sam got attacked by monkeys who robbed her of her cheesy twisters! The second stop of the trip was to watch some wild eagles feeding from the ocean, then we moved on to an island beach where we swam in the clear waters and played on the rope swing. Its a very hot island to stay on everyday hitting about 37!
