Langkawi trip - Day 2
|
|
THURSDAY - 26 JUNE 2008
Today, our agenda is to visit Mahsuri’s Mausoleum. The entrance is RM5 for adults and we get to learn about the legend of Mahsuri and her fitnah. And what happened to Langkawi after she was killed until the recent discovery of her 7th descendant in Thailand. :omg_no: :omg_no:
Within the compound is also Mahsuri's well, the waters of which are believed to have healing properties.
Basically, everything you want to know about her is there laaa. :-D :cloud9:
Before we proceed to cable car, we drop by at Telaga Harbour Park and Perdana Quay (pronounced as Ki). It is a perfect Marina for a yacht home base. It’s sunyi sepi when we reach this harbour. I love off peak season. :lol_up: :lol_teethfull: :bounce_cigarrete:
Then, we went to ride a cable car at Gunung Machincang which is located inside Oriental Village Langkawi. Before we went up the hill with cable car, managed to get a photo with this funny guy. “KL ke atau kat Langkawi nie..??” :-O :wtf_beard: :lol_crash:
Yaayyy…. I queue up quickly and got two tickets. It costs RM15 for adults. Soon, we were lining up to get into one of those cable cars. Yeah!!! Time to ride a cable car. Perghh, there was a lot of people went up already. :angel_fly: :good_evil_choice: :crazy:
The first word from me, “Cemana la aku boleh terjebak ngan benda camnie...!!”. It is very high and scary too if you are a gayat person (afraid of high). :crazy: :crazy_dizzy: :weee: :ar15: When the cable car reached a certain height, you can actually see the ‘Telaga Tujuh’ (seven wells) waterfalls. :omg: :omg:
Legend has it that last time some kampung dude, got a chance to skodeng fairies bathing at the waterfalls. Fuyoooh….. I guess by now the fairies pun dah jadi nenek..kehekehh. LOL LOL The last thing I wanted to see is saggy fairies… hahahahhaha :lol_teethfull: :lol_teethfull:
Soon after that, we reached the mid-station and got off. BOY OH BOY! It was sure misty there and EXTREMELY cold too! There’s nothing much to see because of the cloudy and windy condition, so we continued up the 2nd part of the ride until we reached the top which is the highest peak of 710 metres above sea level..
Did I mention that it was FREEZING COLD up there? I was shivering!!!
Going down was as scary as going up. However, it was a really good experience to ride a cable car. Make sure you try it when you travel to Langkawi Island. It is a must visit place.
Soon, it was nearing 1pm. So I ran back to the dumbass SUKOM and headed back to Kuah town for lunch. What a surprise!!! The lunch treat at Medan Selera apa ntah…are not we expected for. The service is lousy and quite expensive. Arrghhh…damn!!! Sorry dude, we don’t want to come to that place anymore. Then, we proceed to HIG to buy things such as bag, Corningware and etc…
Back to our resort and taking a nap. Later, we headed out for dinner to…
The atmosphere of Jai Island Café is very nice. The waiters are very helpful and patient with us for taking so long to order. So here is what we ordered that day.
Anyhow, the food was quite good and delicious. The bill came to a little less than RM123 which is very cheap for 7 menus and we certainly enjoyed ourselves. :bounce_o: :wave:
Back at the resort, we called to book the island hopping trip for RM40 / person. According to him, an agent will come and pick us up at 8:45am the next day.
After that, we ZzzzzzzzzZzzz…. :-)
