Experience at Island

Here’s a story of langkawi visitors recently

When we looked out from the deck this place looked lovely with lots of trees and rocks all around the harbour.  The ship puts on shuttle buses in some ports but we have to pay for them, which we have done in a couple of places because the distance is too far for our old legs.  So we got the shuttle bus into town which is a main street lined with markets, shops and quite a few motel type accommodation places. We walked through to the beach and it looked quite nice over the water with a few riding jet skis but the further we walked along the dirtier it got with a lot of building rubbish and other bits and pieces along the sand and in the water. We decided to head back to the main road and walked along it on both sides.  Langkawi is a duty free port and there were 2 big duty free shops but we didn't need to buy anything from there so we didn't. Did buy a few trinkets in town and then decided to have a meal at a Chinese restaurant. Only because it looked inviting. We both had Singapore noodles and they were delicious.  The local Tiger beer went down very well also.  There was a huge downpour while we were eating but it was over as quickly as it started. We headed back to the shuttle bus and didn't get very wet. By the time we got back to the boat and I did some laundry it was time to head to the Oasis bar and watch the sail out.  We had dinner at the Pizzeria.
You might be wondering why you get some entries all at the same time and that is because I do them at the same time and put the correct dates on when we visited so they are in order. I am having a lot of trouble with the internet connection. The satellite must be out of range or something because the computers really slow down and all the typing that is done can't be saved. This is the second attempt at this one.
