Gerry Seinfeld does a skit on one of his shows about travelling and being on the road. He observes that the most frightening human experience is when you go to the bathroom and flush... and the water comes up. Well... this morning that's what happened!!!
No there will be no further descriptions and definitely no photos Ian... but needless to say, we ended up having to dial "1" and a polite young man arrived shortly after and disappeared into the bathroom. He emerged shortly after and scurried outside (I assume to be sick!) to return soon after with some tools familiar to plumbers. All in a days work I guess, but just in time for Liz who was heading out to the pool.
So the blog is up to date... the sun is shining, the birds singing, the monkeys swinging.... and the toilet back in service... more later!
... Later...
Liz is back from the pool and sports a little redness but she says a lot of the English and Eurpoean guests down at the pool are like lobsters! Crazy stuff... they obviously haven't heard of skin cancer.
After a shower and freshen up we head off in the little Banger... which I have discovered is a Perodua Myvi... never heard of them but a nifty little car... and we're on our way to Kuah Town where Liz wants to get something at the Mall and then we'll have an early dinner at Wonderland, our favourite restaurant in Langkawi and very popular on TripAdvisor.
Sure it's a street side restaurant like the thousands of others over here in this part of the world... it has plastic chairs and tables, there is a tepid waterway running right behind it and the occasional street cat wanders through every now and again... but it is famous for its excellent food and cheap prices. We came here last trip and vowed we would be back.
Our favourite dish here is the grilled Tiger Prawns and these babies are BIG and delicious. We order a plate of Seafood Fried Rice, Baby Kailan and Assam Prawns. We are not disappointed ... they also serve ice cold Tigers and Diet Coke so we are happy campers.
The staff run around as the tables start to fill... this place doesn't get going until after dark when it is hard to get a table.
It is still light and I'm hoping we might be able to catch a little sunset before it dips below the horizon. We drive back to our hotel and the sunset looks fabulous again but we're not going to make it to a beach with palms in time so we stop along the way, where the road runs amongst the rice paddies and coconut palms, and perching the TZ20 on top of the car, I shoot the last of the sunset....
It is spectacular as always and the scene seems to linger... with each passing second the colours change and I keep shooting... it is magic to watch.
