Langkawi trip 7-9 aug 2008

Hello again... urgh!! i really need to be motivated to update my blog regularly.. It's been sometime since my last entry, and i almost forgot my password. Luckily after a few trial and error i managed to get access. Without further bla..bla..bla, let me update my blog with my recent trip to Langkawi. As a token of gratitude to my mum and my sister, Etet for taking care of me and my baby during the confinement, i decided to take them for a vacation to Langkawi. I've been to Langkawi 3 times in the past, but one good thing this time is that I'm going there with flight. I managed to get cheap ticket with fireflies, RM120 round ticket Penang-Langkawi.



Early in the morning, we all were rushing to get ready. My mum was all ready by last night, so she helped me to prepared luffy stuff. Around 8.00 am, we started the journey to airport. Luckily the road is no jammed, eventhough is was slightly slow. Yerlah, hari kerja, plus it's the time people go to office. We parked the car at the airport car park. The charge is RM20 for 1 day, which is almost the same if we were to call cab.

We boarded the flight at 9.35 am and reached Langkawi 10.00 am. Short distance flight should be good for my mum since this is her first time travelled by air. We stayed at Berjaya Hotel which is not that far from Airport. The resort is a walking distance to Langkawi cable car. The first destination was Crocodile Farm. Oh, to mention here, I had list down the places that I want to go this time and as usual, my husband will buy a map. Its really handy before the trip you plan on where to go and you have map with you so you can have efficient trip without wasting time on the road. EHm.. About the crocodile Farm, the entrance ticket is RM10/ adult. There was a few cages where they kept and segregate the reptiles based on their species and size. There is a big pond and long wooden bridge across the pond, so that visitor can observe the crocodile from top. Its a bit scary for me, because the are lots of nasty big giant in the ponds looking at they prey on top.





The next trip was Langkawi cable car. On top of the Bukit Mat Cincang, our view was quite limited due to intense fog. But it was so chilly and windy which reminds me of wether during autumn. My presumption that my mum would be scared and dizzy was totally wrong. She was all well, instead me and my sisted were giddy. We spent almost 2 hours there before move to next place which is Makam Mahsuri. We had our lunch at food stall situated next to Mahsuri's Sanctuary. The entrance ticket is RM5. When we entered ,there was a museum which enlighten the brief story of Mahsuri and her descendant. There is Mahsuri's tomb, Mahsuri's well, Mahsuri parent's house and the neighbourbood surrounding.
