Day +823 : Holiday in Langkawi (6)

I am fine today. Continue from yesterday...

Langkawi Holiday Day 2 (Tuesday, 30 September 2008)

We went to Pulau Payar Marine Park the second day of the trip. The standard price for a day tour to the park costs RM200, but we managed to purchase the ticket at a price of RM120 only. This is because we know the one who operate the tour :-)

We waited at the hotel lobby as early as 7:55am in the morning, but the bus that fetched us to the jetty came at 8:15am only. Apart from picking up my wife and I and another couple from Awana, the bus also picked up quite a few other tourists from various hotels along the way.

We reached the jetty at 9:00am but due to bad weather, the 400-seater express boat started the journey at 10:00am only, and it took about 1 hour 15 minutes to reach Pulau Payar from Langkawi.

The seats - a lot more spacious and comfortable than AirAsia :-)

Towing a small boat along - used to ship divers around the marine park
The lifeboats
It says that this lifeboat could accomodate 65 people when it opens up
It was fun to look at the water dynamic from the deck
To be continued and see you next post :-)
