Langkawi Island was beautiful. It was only a 1 hour flight from KL domestic airport, which has to be the most budget airport I think I have ever seen. We arrived in Langkawi expecting a really small shack of an airport, but were greeted by a more elaborate one than the one we had just left! Our resort was only 10 minutes away and featured its own private beach (see left photo). Twas nice to kick back a bit and rest our weary legs after so much walking in KL.Our most memorable day was spent driving the circumference of the island on a scooter. We were initially cautious, but by the end of the day, we got the beast up to 95km/hr. We got to see and swim in some really secluded beaches on the north of the island, and also got to see some of the local villages and the way in which they lived. We were also able to ride a crazy elephant through a forest, and hiked up to see some beautiful rain forests and waterfalls too! The only negative point was the receiving of third degree arm burns from riding around in the sun all day. Their 4pm sun has to be hotter than the Aussy sun at 12:30pm! Painful.
