Langkawi Escapade 3

We also visited the cable car park.
Our Langkawi tourguide mentioned to us that he was pretty afraid at first to board the cable car as it was very high up and very steep. Furthermore it is bounded by only a thick metal thing.
So it kind of stirred up anxiety in most of us.
We had to walk quite a distance around the park to get to the cable car station.
Rest assure Aileen, Amanda and my mom were chickening out while boarding the cable car.
When we finally boarded the cable car, Amanda and Aileen were screaming and holding on to the whatever grips they can find!
whew, it was steep alright but the view was beautiful.

There were 2 stations, but we stopped at the last station which was the highest up(710meters above sea level)
When we reunited with the whole tour, the gang told us that they could hear us screaming our heads of in the cable car.
We climbed up to the highest podium and the view is simply amazing!
very windy though!
there was this stairs leading to the highest podium and I saw many males crowding around the stairs looking downwards.
So curiously went there to check out what were they looking at.

A prove that all males are hot-blooded, they were staring at this European tourist who was wearing the most low-cut blouse and had a Pamela Anderson sized boobs.
She was sitting there having her potrait drawn and the males were staring from upwards at her, yea, u guessed it, her boobs.


After enjoying the view, we headed back and boy, the return trip was even steeper!
We headed back to the Langkasuka hotel which had this cooling and beautiful ambience.
Shared a room with my aunt and Aileen. The room was nice and big.
So while the night was still young, Aileen and I ran back and forth to my parent's room and then to my cousins' and grandpa's room.
After a game of Monopoly with Amanda and Aileen, we hit the sack.
Woke up 6am in the morning, eyes still half asleep, brushed and washed up then we went for breakfast at the Sunset Restaurant.
After breakfast, we headed to the beautiful, clean beach and collected lots of sea shells!
Hit the swimming pool after beach for a dip.

Checked out(rather reluctantly) and then we went to duty-free shops to buy chocolates and liquors.
Boy, we bought so much chocolates that the tour guide joked that half of Langkawi's chocolate stock has been wiped out by us.
I love Cadbury's Caramello!
Had lunch and it was back to the jetty point.
And it's bye bye Langkawi.
Absolutely love Langkawi!

In the bus, the tourguide started telling Chinese riddles and hamsup jokes!
freakin funny!
Am really going to miss Langkawi!

Langkawi Escapade 2

Went to Galeria Perdana which houses state-of-the-art paintings, structures and artsy stuff.
Had to pay an extra RM3.00 just because I wanted to take my camera in with me.
The place was big, beautiful and the monuments were so pretty!

After Galeria Perdana, went to Underwater World.
The aquatic lives were so cute! well, some of them.
It was a nice place and after Underwater World, we boarded the bus and headed to Dataran Helang.
We were all pretty bushed out by then but stuck it up and put on a smile for pictures anyway
