Day +820 : Holiday in Langkawi (3)

I am fine today. Continue from yesterday...

As Awana is located on the south-western tip of the island, we planned to round the island in a clockwise direction along the coastal road. The first thing that we planned was to ride the famous Langkawi cable car and walked on the Sky Bridge.

We set out on our journey at 3:00pm northward along the western coastal road, bypassing Cenang beach and reached the Oriental Village where the cable car station is located at 5:00pm only.

The reason of the delay was that we experienced another storm along the way. The car that we rented was leaking and we had to take shelter at a petrol station for quite some times. When we picked up the journey again after the storm, we came across a few fallen trees on the road. Fortunately, no one was hit by the tree.

We did some shopping there as well before embarking on our journey to our next destination – Tanjong Rhu. Situated on the northern tip of the island, someone said that it is the best beach in Langkawi.
