Malaysia Day 5

I spent most of day riding on the motorbike my hotel hooked me up with. It cost about $30 for two days, which is a ton less than taking taxi's all around the island. I put two liters of gas in, and that cost about $1.50, so pretty good.

Once I got used to the bike, I rode up to Telga Harbor Park, which was so beautiful. It was windy but the bright blue water made up for it.



There was also the prettiest hotel on the bay, called Berjaya Langkawi Beach Resort. I would have loved to have stayed here, too bad the room rates were through the roof!



Later on, I cruised up to the cable car and oriental village. I was excited to see this so called Oriental village. To me, it looked like something you'd find in Disneyworld.



I had to wait about 2 hours to get up to the top, by the time I waited to stand in line and then stand in line and take the car up. I was lucky and met 4 fun Malayan young adults my age. We rode up together and hung around up top. Once we got to the top, the view was incredible! It was hard to tell where the water stopped and the sky began, it was all the same blue color. There was a rumor about it being cold up on the top, but it was still really hot! Here are the guys I met:



This is what part of the island and mountains look like:



Here's a view of the water and sky:



After taking numerous pictures, I got back on to the road and went to some beaches. I had to stop a few times to look at the monkey's sitting on the side of the road:



I relaxed on an almost-deserted beach, Tanjung Rhu. There are three small islands that you can walk to on the sandbar during low tide. I did that and as I was walking, I saw a gorgeous sunset. Here I am on the sandbar on the way back from the smaller islands.



I did a lot today, and had an awesome time on the motorbike. On the way back to the hotel, I got it up to 80 kph on the freeway. I'd love to have one of those back home!
