So Langkawi... What an island. I have absolutely loved it, it may even be my favourite place so far. So much charm about the place. When Sarah arrived we went and got our scooters, we hired them for two days so we can explore the island. I felt ready to get my own one this time, and I must say I loved driving round on it. Makes it easy that the roads are good and there is hardly any traffic so nice and enjoyable. On our first day with them, we went west to a pl...

So Chels and I made our way to catch the ferry yesterday morning. Along with Rachel and Tommy who were part of the group we spent yesterday with and were also at Reagge Mansion in KL. Ferry was nice and simple and within 3 hours we arrived in Langkawi, which is a ting island at the top of Malaysia. We are so close to Thailand now. Stopped off at Starbucks (feel like I'm constantly writing that) and had my first red cup of the season. Was weird in a way because ...

Today is what I love about traveling. We woke up with the intention of checking out, we were packed and everything. But after chatting to the group of people we were with last nights (1 of which we met back at Reggae Mansion in KL) we decided to follow their plans for the day. So unpacked (broke my sunglasses, lasted 6 weeks which isn't too bad) and headed out with them. They were getting scooters and heading out to Batu Ferringhi, which we were planning on goin...

Today was a great day, we hired out bikes and went round the streets looking at some of their famous street art, which is kind of like Banksy art. Was really nice riding round the little streets trying to find them all. Stopped for a nice iced tea and after we finished Chelsea got stopped by these 4 local young guys for a photo with her. It was so funny, and I got it all on film. We later went to Starbucks (again) and were howling for ages at the video. God we h...

So yesterday was pretty horrendous, we have made a note to ourselves not to drink the night before a travel day again. What an error. Felt ready to move by 3pm and headed to the bus station where we caught the hourly bus to Penang. Much better way to travel than the train. The seats were so comfortable and spacious. Just under 5 hours later and we arrived. Stopped over in a place called Butterworth for the night. We hadn't eaten all day and it was now 9pm so we...
