Langkawi Holiday Day 3 (1 October 2008)
The main activity for today is Island Hopping Tour. The three hours tour covered three islands - Tasik Dayang Bunting, Pulau Singa, and Pulau Beras Basah by using a small boat. The tour cost RM45 per person including hotel transfer.
Initially we planned to take the earliest tour in the morning so that we could have other activities in the afternoon, but due to the fact that today is the first day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, no tour agent provides morning tour. So we have to take the 2:30pm tour.
After a quite heavy buffet breakfast, while waiting for the afternoon Island Hopping Tour, my wife and I went for a lengthy morning walk. We walked from Awana Porto Malai northward, heading Cenang Beach. We first visited the jetty for island hopping that is situated about 200 meters from Awana. Along the way, we also visited a number of beaches. The weather was still not that good and we could hardly see the sun.
We rented a motorbike at a shop somewhere near Langkawi Underwater World which is situated about 1km away from Awana. After some bargaining, the shop owner agreed to a price of RM20 per day.
With the motorbike, we managed to travel further up to Cenang Beach, which is one of the famous beaches on Langkawi. The beach in the morning was very quiet and we didn’t see many tourists there.

Car/Van rental rate - the shop owner told me that his fee is fixed regardless the season. So we would be able to get a Perodua Kancil for RM50 per day even during the peak season.

The beer is so cheap. RM1.60 per can, the price of soft drink. "People will laugh at us if we don't drink here," I told my wife. So I bought two cans, but neither of us managed to finish drinking it :-( Still, the soft drink tastes better :-)
To be continued and see you next post :-)
