Langkawi is an island off the northwestern coast of Malaysia and about as close to Thailand as you can get (only a 20 minute ferry ride away). Our first day there Dave and I decided to rent a motorbike ($5 for the whole day) and see the island. Here we are in the middle of some rice fields/alligator country. We didn't actually see an alligator but being aware of the alligator farms on the island we sure were hoping.
Next stop was a jungle path off the side of the road that led to this waterfall.
Here are the only rules of the waterfall.
A most refreshing swim.
Here I am on skull beach, named so because of all the bodies that washed up on shore here due to the demon in the ocean who would devour sailors... or maybe it was the prisoners who attempted to escape from the prison on the island in the background.
Another jungle path leading to a waterfall.
The view from one of the highest points in Langkawi.
But of course with my luck with peaks of mountains it started pouring rain on us. Here we are stopped at a food stand on the way back for cover from the rain and assorted deep fried snacks. The man who owned the stand didn't speak any English so we just went with our instincts, still can't figure out what we had but there was a delicious spicy sauce to dip it in so we were happy.
