The next morning we woke up dead. I was just tired and Steve was tired because he had wanted to stay up until very late to watch the ManU game.. Of course. The previous day we had searched for places that would be open in the morning to show this boxing fight on tv. This one sports place promised to show it. So in the morning we went there with our backpacks, and it wasnt even open yet.. There were maybe five other guys who had come there too in hopes of seeing it. Next we headed to this internet cafe to try to watch it online. I was soooo pissed off and annoyed. Could not give a shit. The stream and the internet were so poor so it was pointless anyway.
After it was over (finally) we rushed to the harbour to our boat to Langkawi. It was said to take around three hours. The tickets were 68.10 ringgits each.
A bit over three hours later we arrived to the harbour of Langkawi and were met with one of the biggest queue's we had ever seen! It was huge, it kept going and going and going.. It had been the holidays so locals had come to Langkawi to spend some family time and now everyone and his dog were leaving.. We eventually survived out from the terminal and were instantly greeted by lots of taxi drivers. Our driver was the kindest (very gay!) and by far the nicest taxi driver we had come across. All the way he told us about Langkawi and his counry, basically everything we needed to know. At the end we gladly handed over the 30 ringgit and went to try to find a hostel.
He dropped us of at this place were there where cheaper hotels, motels and hostels close by. We checked out couple of places and eventually settled on the Sweet Inn. It was a simple double room clean and tidy and set us back for 300 ringgit (75 ringgit a night), not bad considering some of the other options around. We dumped our stuff and went to try to find some food. Right next to the hostel was a nice little beach side style shack which did the basic asian foods and fruit juices. We both filled our bellies and drank for 22 ringgits! Really really good food!!!!
After eating we went to have a look at the beach and the high street. We were just in time to see one of the most beeaitful sunset either one of us had ever seen! We have both seen quite a few sunsets but this was like standing in some other world! The sky felt like it was so close you could touch it. The sky was all colours and the cloud formations didnt even look real. The darkness roaming in from one side met with the fading sunlight on the other. In all explosion of color. The beach was full of people taking pictures and selfies. Unbelievable sunset.
