Langkawi

I had to catch up on emails, so most of Friday, I was in the hotel lobby answering emails. Links was in the pool with the kids. I spent about an hour and a half with the kids in the pool in the afternoon. Neither wanted to leave when it was time to get dinner.

On Saturday, we checked out of the hotel and moved to an airbnb place, which is much nicer. They have a little pool and laundry facilities, and gave us a beer on arrival. Winston and Henry love the pool, so most of the time here is spent in the pool. Henry harasses the cats. In the afternoon we drove about 20km to a beach at the North East of the island. Henry fell asleep in the car, so we laid him on a table of a beachside restaurant while we had cold drinks. We played in the sea and built some sandcastles and holes. We saw lots of fish jump out of the water.
On the way back we had a late dinner.

Sunday morning, we swam in the pool and chatted with an older Dutch couple who live in penang. In the afternoon we went on a boat trip. About 12 people on a really fast boat. We stopped at an island where there were lots of Monkeys and a monitor lizard. On that I shall and was a freshwater Lake with pontoons and a kids pool built in. Nice warm water. Then we went on the boat to feed some Eagles. They chucked scraps in the water next to the boat and the Eagles swooped down to gather them up. Next stop was an island with soft sand on a beautiful beach. Me and Winston collected small bits of coral and made a pile. A 7 year old girl came to help. Winston thought that was nice. Links and Henry went to find some shade and looked at hermit crabs and shells. When we got back there were monkeys sitting in our car and a giant wasps nest in a nearby tree. We went to Macdonald for dinner, followed by a trip to the McDonald's ice cream shop. We got back at around 8:30, we played I the pool a bit, chatted with the house owners and played some maths computer games.
