A promise has being made between us never to let this happen again as we sat downhearted over breakfast. Nothing is sometimes good when your brain and body allow it but we are agitated at this thought today. It is these times we miss home the most. The stop gaps between the awesome stuff, it is just unfortunate that our plans have included them a little too much lately due to the loss of our India adventure. On the positive side we can throw our energy into ful...

A bleak realization hit us today.... We have planned to stay too long on Langkawi. With nothing but the beach (which believe it or not can become tedious), it is days like today when we call up on a list a tasks to keep us entertained. - Writing this blog - Writing lyrics - Mapping out our trip - Future plans - To do lists so we don't trip up with visas, money, flights etc (Most important) - Reading - Listening to a back catalogue of a band (Today was...

We just presumed that there would be loads on offer. It has come to our attention that Langkawi is in the down season and generally there isn't much to do. But we are never against a beach day. However, the omnipresent "jet ski, parachute, banana boat" callings, plus the roar...

The loudest, roaring, powerful, biblical electrical storm woke us up in the early hours and lasted till 11am. We were unable to leave our room which meant not eating and surviving off a ration of water. It was true castaway stuff..... Eventually we stepped out in to the humidity and became instantly soaking. The climate demanded effort but was given lethargy as we plodded down the beach after breakfast trying to decide whether or not we wanted to go on a boa...
