Breakfast was included so we had our breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant.
After a few phone calls to the car rental agent, we finally secured a car. They offered a standard deal published on their website. If you do have more time to research, do send email in advance of your trip to negotiate discount for the car rental.
Taadaa ~~~ it’s a Perodua Myvi. It was sent directly to our hotel for RM 20 fee. Well, at least it’s hassle free.
We decided to drive to Langkawi Cable car, however, at one main junction, we took the wrong turn and ended up at Pantai Cenang. Oh well, just make the best of it and might as well just sightseeing there.. lol..
We took a stroll along the beach and stumbled upon this big jellyfish!
As it was mid afternoon, the sun is scorching! We went off after loitering around for a while. We then proceed to go to the Langkawi cable car since we thought we could hide from the Sun for a while :P
At the entrance of the cable there, there is this Oriental village with some shops and restaurant around. I didn’t quite get the oriental feel but the place overall is quite nice and relaxing. This is one of the shop there renting segway
We bought our tickets for the cable car ride. The queue was really really long to board the cable car. We then realised that it is a Saturday and a public holiday! Luckily the waiting area is well ventilated making the wait more bearable.
Oh, if you have food and drinks with you, I suggest that you place them inside your bags out of sight. Otherwise, the staff might request that you leave your stuff on the table (which probably already have tonnes of food and drinks on it belonging to other customers). I caught sight of the no-food-and-drink rules at the very last minute and scrambled to keep my water bottle inside my bagpack! :P

Finally we boarded our cable. Spotted the hanging bridge!
Nice view from the cable car!
The view from the observatory deck
Spotted anything interesting in the background? They formed a smiley face :) ! lol.. I wished I had notice that when I was there!

See how far the cable car had to travel? It’s an engineer feat if you ask me. It’s even cooler than the cable car in HK.
After the cable car ride back towards the Oriental village, we found a nice place situated on a lake and decided to have late lunch there. I can sense that the owner there is very passionate about their food. The lady who prepared and served our food actually carefully placed the plate on the table and rotate it to a nice angle. I seldom see people with such passion on the details.

Some folks trying out the Segway
After lunch, we decided to visit the Tanjung Rhu beach which is located at the northern most tip of the island. The road leading to the beach is winding, narrow and secluded. We were almost convinced that we have lost our way! lol
Some boats at the beach
As we walked along the beach, we stumbled upon a nice resort, the Tanjung Rhu Resort. I would love to stay here the next trip! But I’m sure the price will be jaw dropping as well. :P
The place is surrounded by well landscaped plants and trees. So nice and cooling
The rooms with balcony to chill out
Guests at the resort relaxing by the beach.
After the adventure, we drove back to Kuah town and walked around to look for a place to have dinner. We settled in what looked like a pub since there were not many choice to choose from :P

Back to our hotel! Beers bought from a store in Pantai Cenang earlier in the day :) Cheap cheap.. lol These are slightly above RM 10.. ho ho
Good night for day 2! ;)
