LangKawi / Malaysia Chillfactor: high

Today is our last day on Malaysia's leasure-island Langkawi, located in the north-west of the country.
Our friends departured earlier in the morning to Kuala-Lumpur, whereby our plane via Airasia leaves at 8pm. Apparently, now we have some time to log down our expirience.

On the first day, Thomas and I rented some scooters - for the convenient price of 30rm (7 EUR) per day, you'll get your hands on an almost new 125ccm scooter, ideally to discover the island. Gasoline costs nothing either - and the traffic is not very heavy, streets are fine and not dirty.
Our Sunbeach Resort is located on the southern west, and fortunatly Thomas was able to reserve us a romantic suite, very nice accomodation! So we used the private beach, warm water of the bengal bay and the first fresh fish with plenty of Tiger Beer for dinner.

On the second day, Christian and Arne rented their bikes as well, and the six of us got on the first longer ride, discovered the seven lakes, some waterfalls and had a exclusive lunch at one of the 5*+ Resorts in the north. Afterwards Thomas brought us to a hidden lagune on the further north.

After return, the girls had some hot-stone SPA at a beautiful place we discovered - meanwhile the 4 guys of us got some money on the table for Poker, followed by a fantastic dinner right next to the sunset beach.

As rain season is about to start in a month, we had sporadic rain, and in the second night a frightening thunderstorm. It kept raining till 11am, so we started for our mountain tour the next day with a bit of a delay. We had the chance to get up there right before the first clouds, I'll ost some pictures later on.

In the night, all of us booked into the SPA again, lots of massage, creams, jacuzzi and relaxing. The Sunba right next to it had live music, happy cocktail hour and some locals kicked our ass in pool - damnit.

Now whilst the four other folks are already in KL for shopping, Ksenia and I enjoy another day here on Langkawi - a beautiful island, quiet for now as season is in Nov / Dec, lots of activities to see and interesting to discover by yourself. We may see us again here.
