Sunset at the beach
Uhhh....toilet paper please. What is this?
Made it back safely from Langkawi. What a wonderful place! The beach was a nice relaxing getaway. The sunsets were breathtakingly beautiful, the pictures hardly do any justice. We just wish we had more time to explore different parts of Malasyia, but we definitely want to do a trip back. Its amazing to be at the beach & also see the mountains nearby. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. There were many foreigners at the resort with lots of families-especially young little baby/tots. And many Muslims. Definitely different seeing those women all covered-up in their black. Do I wear the black, or...the black? They even swim in all those long robes & still have their faces covered! Pretty amazing ladies.
It rained a little the first day we got there, but eventually cleared up. It took us 1/2 the day to find somewhere to sit because I was being a girl & didnt like any of the chairs cause they had ants crawling all over them. Oh well. We had a great dinner right by the ocean, it was just lovely.
Sunday I went walking around while Matt slept in. I finally woke him up to go play in the sun. We spent all day outside & are pretty roasted. We even played mini-golf. What an adventure that was. They should really warn you about hitting the ball in the water too much. And especially all the mosquitos! Natalie was covered in her I'm-almost-deathly-allergic-to-skeeter bites! Kidding, suprisingly I only had like 3-4 bites. Pretty good considering we were practically playing in the jungle. Still no fever or sickness from them, so thats definitely a great sign! No malaria or dengue fever for me!!! And of course, Matt is like a natural repellent for those bugs. He's so lucky. He felt bad for me I think. I also got some lovely bites from being in the sand-probably just sand fleas or something. Very itchy!!
All in all it was a great time. Just wish we could have stayed a couple more days. Going back to work for Matt this morning was definitely NO FUN!
More to come later
