Did a last minute planning to go Langkawi for 4 days 3 nights during end Dec 2010 :)
We finally boarded the plane to Langkawi after an hour delay. Was feeling excited to go Langkawi for the first time! :D
We touched down Langkawi at 12.45PM after about 1.5 hours flight. I had pre-booked the airport transfer from the airport to our Hotel in Kuah Town.
After a 40 minutes ride, we finally reached Bayview hotel located in Kuah Town. Basically it’s the tallest building in that town :P Very obvious to spot.
This is the view from our room window. Kind of nice and relaxing.
The room is very spacious and clean as well. No complains there :)
As we still have not rented a car yet, we decided to walk to the Langkawi Parade Shopping Complex as it looks near from the map :P
After walking for what felt like forever, we finally reached the shopping complex. First thing we did was to find a nice place to rest and eat our late lunch.
The café we were at is actually quite nice. It’s a café and art gallery in one.
And the best thing? ~~ the beer is cheap! lol.. I ordered beer to go with my lunch.. hehe.. It’s about RM3++ whereas the soft drink cost just a little cheaper.
Overall, the shopping complex is disappointing though. Nothing much to see. Pretty boring to be honest.
Oh, if you want to surf for free, do go to the Mc Donalds within the shopping complex. We went there after our meals and did some surfing. WiFi speed is good there :)
After surfing, we decided to walk towards the Kuah Jetty where I heard that you could rent a car there.
On the way there, we stumbled upon this place called Lagenda Park and found some nice views along the way.
Approaching Kuah Jetty with a nice, tranquil lake
Some walking area are a little rundown. A little dangerous for children and the elderly. I hope the authority can do something about it.
This is kinda zen… ah.. peace….
As we walk towards the seaside, the gigantic soaring eagle came into view :) That’s the eagle square. The main landmark of Langkawi! :D
At the square, we spotted our hotel at the opposite. That’s how far we have walked.. :P
The obligatory shot :D
We then walked towards the Kuah Jetty area and attempted to get info on car rental. The amount of people trying to pitch their travel and car rental services is really overwhelming. I would rather compare each counter in peace than to be swarmed by these people. In the end, we gave up getting the car rental from there as I was worried that the cars are not properly insured or approved by the official.
Told my buddy that I will try to get info from the internet so off we went to the most logical place to be – Starbucks of course! lol..
After a few failed attempts to call the car rental agent, I was told to call them back the next morning as most likely their office is already closed for the day.
After having a nice break, we set off to go back to our hotel.. yes, we are walking back again! lol.. For some reason, we love torturing our poor feet.. haha..
After dinner, we went back to our hotel. This is the view taken from our hotel room. The brightest area you see here is the ‘pasar malam’, the night market.
Good night for day 1 :)
