Day 17 - Langkawi

 

We had intended sleeping in this morning... we've been on the go for 2 weeks and with some early mornings, we needed a rest. Liz has been slow to get going most days... maybe jet lag catching up as she's normally up and about at home around 6am ... but I'm up this morning at 7am and the sun's not up yet. I let her sleep as I try for some sunrise shots from the balcony of our chalet. It's a nice view to wake up to... very hard to take!     

This is our chalet amongst the rainforest just as the morning sun's rays light up the resort. All the chalets are in the rainforest ... either single ones like ours or double ones and then there are the ones on the water... maybe we'll get one of those next time.

The breakfast restaurant is packed at 10am and there is a wide variety of different foods to cater for the different nationalities here. The Egg Station cooks are working overtime as they wield their spatulas like white-hatted sword-fighters! 

Liz heads off to the pool and finds it hard to stake her claim to a poolside chair... apparently many of the guests are from Russia or Germany or thereabouts... her assessment is they should not be wearing bikinis! I'll have to head down and check them out... Before she headed for the pool I told Liz that I would volunteer my services as a Bikini-Line Technician but she reckons it would be a tough job even for me!

Liz has booked a manicure and pedicure for 5pm and then we'll have dinner at the Beach Restaurant. In the meantime, the blog is up to date and I'm gonna chill out and catch up on some reading.

Liz's indulgence went ok so we get ready for dinner at the Beach Restaurant just down from our chalet. It's still hot and humid at 8:30 but there is an occasional cool breeze as we look out on the twinkling lights of the other resorts and enjoy a western meal for thefirst time in 3 weeks... pizza and pasta. I so miss the Vietnamese food...

We head for bed as the sounds of the rainforest which surround us helps us drift off to sleep.
