With no tours booked today, we decided to make the most of the hotel and enjoy the facilities!

Andy was back to his morning 10k run around the harbour and took a couple of photos of Maha Tower (looks a little like a mini Eiffel Tower) and the Vintage Villa Langkawi, one of the original hotels in the city.

After a sumptuous breakfast offer, which catered for every conceivable palette we ‘retired’ to the beach.

After a few hours of pool side action, rotating between the sun lounger, pool and sea, it was time to hit the bar.

After a cool beer at the pool side we headed back to the room and after a brief interlude watching one of the Mission Impossible movies for the nth time, we headed to the hotel bar & restaurant.

Again there was a singer and guitarist in the bar playing a mix of Malaysian and Western songs.

The food at the hotel, whilst a little more expensive than we’ve been used to it too date, is excellent and we loved the chicken stir fry with chillies – which definitely had a spicy kick to them!!!

It’s been a lovely day doing very little and we have been blessed with a full day of sunshine, so all turned out well.

Tomorrow we are off on an island hopping tour to see Eagles, the ‘Pregnant Women’ lake & hillside and to swim in Beras Basah beach under the palm trees.
