Langkawi

we arrived Langkawi in the morning and got suckered right away at paying too much for a room. I guess i can't complain too bad about paying $10, but we could have done it for $6, but then you are not on a tropical S.E. Asian holiday if you are not pooping water and getting ripped off at least a couple of times. Tonight will be our third night here. We walked the beach front strip the first day and then watched the sunset on the sand at a bar near our hotel. The next morning I walked around alone, as Josh had too many rum and coconuts and maybe one too many beers. He got up around noon and we decided to walk down to where we found out was a much cooler beach scene and cheaper rooms. I had a beer, and Josh had water at a cool little bar, then we sat on the beach. I have not been managing my tanning sessions well, I burnt myself the first day and now i am just a big blotchy red, white and tan peely mess. Today we rented a car for $14 a drove around the island. We stopped and took a ride in some gondolas way way up to the top of the island, it was a great view and we felt very satisfied after paying $6. for the ride. During our Island circumnavigating we stopped at a few other happening touristy spots, but they all cost $$ so we skipped them all, except a crappy little waterfall that would have been spectacular had there been water falling. We stopped at the ferry terminal and bough a ticket for a jet boat that will take us across the border tomorrow morning to the Thai island of Koh Lipe. We have decided that we are going to island hop our way up to Phuket and then fly back to Kula Lumpor the end of the month to be on our way back over to Borneo to finish up the trip.
They say Koh Lipe has no ATM's, and island without ATM's is probably an island without internet, so this may be it for a few days

we will have fun, and we will be safe
