Malaysia Trip Part II - Langkawi

after a few days exploring kl, jumped on a short flight to the island of langkawi in northern malaysia, very close to thailand. this part of the trip was more about pools, beaches, jet skis, and more eating (seafood in particular!).

our hotel in kuah, langkawi. not too shabby!





dinner our first night on langkawi





not a bad spread



and here is where i fell in love with tiger prawns! these things were more like small lobsters than big shrimp



took a cable car up to check out the sky bridge, a suspension bridge in the mountains of langkawi that sits about 2000ft above sea level





first view of the sky bridge from the cable car



juice ready to cross the sky bridge



me and chris (aaron was in town working)



this thing was pretty freaky to cross

met up with aaron for lunch and gorged on drinks and food at this gem of a restaurant we stumbled on in cenang beach... red sky



awesome lamb chop the chef recommended



cheers! #pinkiesup



after a long night of bar hopping and checking out some of the local clubs, we were ready to enjoy some relaxing time at cenang beach





found a nice table just off the sand to post up for the day so we could keep the drinks flowing and food coming





spent the entire day here drinking, cooling off in the water, and jet skiing (my first time). by the end of the day we were ready for some dinner and just continued into the night at our same table (at night they fire up the bbq!)











tasty fish



our last day we stopped by eagle square to see the famous eagle statue





snacks



for our last meal on langkawi, we definitely had to do seafood. this thai seafood restaurant called fish farm did not disappoint! and the added bonus was the beautiful pier behind the restaurant

juice hand selecting our grouper



ta da!



of course we had tiger prawns prepared a couple different ways, but this one was very interesting... garlic prawns in dried butter. that stuff that looks like grass was made out of butter, really good!











great way to end our stay on langkawi. next stop, penang and ipoh!
