Day 21 - Langkawi

Today is a "Pool Day" so after breakfast Liz heads for the circus... I mean Pool Area... while I catch upon on some reading and stay cool in our air-conditioned chalet. I remember last time we were here and the air-con broke down and for a few hours we had nothing but the ceiling fan... bloody unbearable!

Liz returns about 3pm and we have decided that tonight, our last night here and, except for our night at KLIA before an early morning flight Tuesday, we will have dinner tonight on our little balcony and watch the sunset from here. We'll order room service dinner and of course a few cold Tigers and we'll be set. Besides, we don't have to get dressed up and travel far so that suits us.

I grab the G2 and tripod and get some final shots of the resort and the view of the bay and islands... it is bloody hot out in the sun so I don't linger but get some nice bright sunlight shots. Nothing to write home about and more snaps than anything else but they will do to remember the warmth of Langkawi when the icy cold winter arrives back home.

Liz's eagle eye watches me from our balcony to see that I don't slip and fall in to the water... in light of my bad record with water features and cameras! It's nice just sitting on the balcony and soon enough I arrive back and dump the shirt and cool off again.

The view from balcony where we will have dinner tonight... providing the mozzies and other bugs of the night take the night off... actually we haven't noticed many mozzies or bugs here but where there is rainforest, there will be bugs. Should be a very romantic end to our stay in Langkawi.

Our dinner is delivered promptly at 5:30 and the guys set it up on the balcony table for us. There are several restaurants at the resort but none has the view that we have from our dining room. It is sheer magic sitting here, with delicious Malaysian dishes and of course, a couple of Tigers. Doesn't get much better than this.

Dinner at our chalet with a million dollar view.
A few minutes after we finish dinner, I go inside to grab another Tiger when Liz calls out... a family of monkees clambered down our balcony post. Both Liz and the mother monkee with baby onboard were startled... both got a fright before they jumped to the palm trees and then climbed a tree across the road where the family of four fed on berries. 

Not many restaurants here where you get a floor show like that!
