COCONUTS IN LANGKAWI

and then home to a hectic two weeks of happenings. Gismo Man had some meetings in Langkawi so I went for some chilling on the beach. When we returned home, Savvy Girl was admitted to the hospital for some tests and procedures. She is recovering now and life has returned to a normal pace. 

We flew out on a hot morning. I admit I was a bit spooked looking out as I had not been on a turboprop aircraft for a very looong time.

 I had quite forgotten these aircrafts are still in operation. I was glad Inspector Singh accompanied me on this trip and kept me well entertained. 

After checking into the hotel, Gismo Man decided we should walk to the popular beach, Pantai Cenang. I am a walker but the beach was 4.4km away and it was in the afternoon sun. 

Oh NO, there was NIL negotiation with him! With the UV index at extreme, he lead the way while I melted behind like a candle. I can understand why husbands are sometimes murdered by their wives.

After an hour of squeezing sweat from my bandana and cussing why we could not take a taxi, we arrived. Pantai Cenang was crowded with sun worshippers on jet skis and many took to the sky parasailing.

 The sun was still high but was preparing to settle for the day. 

We order a small dinner of fish, kang kong and one bowl of rice to be shared. My stomach had not recovered from that arduous walk. I mean my legs did the walking but the whole body is connected, right? 🤣 😂

The setting sun did not deter the parasailing activities. In fact, more went up as I imagine it must be fantastic to be with the glowing sky.

But the sun must set and it did around 7.30pm. Incredible how a blazing bright sky turns golden at dusk and then closes to beautiful peaceful hues of blue.

My first day in Langkawi.

 If you all must know, we took a taxi back to the hotel!
