Think I have not gotten back to 'work' mode. Still in 'holiday' mode.
Got off to a bad start in Langkawi - camera died, shoes (two pairs) also died. No photos to show this time. Took many videos though. Will see what I can do with them :)
Found Langkawi (malay for 'brown eagle') very kampong. Enjoyed the pool and beach at Holiday Villa - although the facade and decor of hotel were not impressive, the service exceeded my expectations. Massages were good too! Wished I had more time to R&R at the pool and beach though - did not get a good tan as the weather was not great (cloudy, slight drizzle). The mangrove tour was very good though - guide was knowledgeable and I can feel that he loves the island. The city tour and island hopping was so-so only - guides were no good : / I guess passion for what you do can make a lot of difference.
