Langkawi is a place best enjoyed as a couple staying in a resort. It's just one of those places. It's an Island not far off the coast. Although you can take your car it's expensive and worse takes days to get there so we left the car on the mainland, took a ferry and hired scooters when we got there. The scooters were great. Julian and I had a blast travelling around on them, even when it rained. We stayed in Langkawi for a few days and enjoyed the beach.

When we arrived we stayed at the first hotel we found that was a bearable expense as night was falling. We christened it the 'dump'. It was an appalling room. On the last day we stayed in a cheap resort and enjoyed some civility. We had a lovely blue pool and enjoyed a morning swim.
