Langkawi Trip-Day 1

Last Month on 27th July, we went to Langkawi for a family holiday first time in 2 years.(well, first time in 9 years for only 5 of us) We decided to go to Langkawi since we did not go anywhere during the June school holidays.

I went to MAS online and booked managed to get the free tocket for all of us. All of us were so excited, my younger brother Jojo drove us to the airport on that day, we left home at 6am and reached there at 7.00am. We had breakfast at McD(the cheapest in KLIA). All the time, I prayed that Adriana will not throw any trantum in the plane. The kids were enjoying themselves in the departure room and when it was time to board the plane, they were all excited. Adriana sat by the window and she had the view all to herself. Azrai sat with Amli behind us while all the girls sat together. In the middle of the journey Azrai wanted to join us, so he and Tasya swaped places. Just as we are about to take off, Adriana fell asleep-phew!!! I was so glad, she woke up after 20 minutes morning nap and we were almost there. The journey was smooth, only Azrai had a ears problem with the air pressure and such-pity him :(

We arrived in Langkawi around 9.45am, while Amli waited for our bags, the kids were running around inside the airport. We rent a car while we were there, at first we asked for Proton Iswara but Amli was not satisfied with the conditions of the car(the truth is he cannnot drive wihout powert stering-the condition was an excuse). So, we called the car rental guy and asked for a different car-we end up with Nissan Sentra.

Since it was still early, we decided to go around Kuah and had lunch before check in into the motel. We went to this famous Haji Ismail Group and bought chocolates to our heart contain. I love chocolates and I really enjoyed myself there. We had lunch at this stall and to my surprised it cost us RM25.00 for lunch and we had ikan bakar( a small one mind you) and mix veges. We found out after that, food in Langkawi were expensives!!!

We stayed at AB Motel in Pantai Chenang, it was budget accomodation but a very comfortable one, we booked a family room with 2 double bed, a mini bar, a tv, en suite bathroom and air conditioned room. Our room was few steps away from the beach and it was heaven to the kids.

However, we almost did not have a holiday at all when the wardrobe's door fell on my toe and cause it to swell really bad. I could not walk and cried when it happened. Luckily, Amli knew the owner and immediately called him and asked himif he knows any one who can urut mt feet and luckily the cleaner in the motel can do just that. At about 4 pm, she came and did her magic to my feet and after that I could walk a little, but that did not stop us from going around Kuah again and shop again.

We went for our dinner and Bukit Malut-known for the fresh ikan bakar and it was located next to the jetty where the fishermen came up from the sea. We ordered fish, calamari and crabs and it was a nice dinner a part from Tasya threw up inthe middle of our dinner, Adriana went crazy by throwwing rice everywhere!!! It was a CRAZY DINNER but the food was nice. I highly recommended it. The restaurant was also featured in JALAN-JALAN CARI MAKAN.

We back to the motel and about 8pm and went straight to bed.
