My Langkawi Story Part 1

Our trip to Langkawi was fun and tiring as well especially the transportation that we chose really consumed a lot of time. We took the KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) from KL Sentral on the 18th June 2010 (friday night).

My boyfriend and I reached KL Sentral around 8pm. We met with our two other friends at there too. Then we had a very quick dinner at Ayamas.

We urged the waiters to serve our food quickly as we had to rushed for the train at 9pm. We were so excited and couldn't wait anymore to board the train.

We stand by at the Platform A before 9pm but our mood was spoiled by the delayed train. Announcement was made and we were informed that the train was rescheduled to 10.20pm!

We walked around and at last seated in front of the KTM counter. They played cards while I continued with my Twilight book (just to kill time).

Finally, we boarded the train at 10.40pm but the train did not move at all. They did not make any announcement regarding to the second delay.

All the passengers waited angrily and some of them were fast asleep... We made fun of them and said that when they wake up, they were still in KL Sentral.. Haha.

We took some silly pictures to kill time again..

We waited and waited.. AT last, the train started to move at 12 midnight..

We were fast asleep but we couldn't sleep soundly because the train stopped at several train stations along the way to Kuala Perlis.

Woke up, sleep back, woke up again and sleep back again.. It was morning already. We captured some of the beautiful scenery in Kedah especially the large green paddy fields.

Reached Alor Setar at 10.15am. Yeah! We headed to the taxi station and after bargaining, we agreed to pay Rm50 for the taxi to Kuala Perlis. The distance from Alor Setar to Kuala Perlis was approximately 1 hour. I managed to take some pictures of the Alor Setar town while I was in the fast moving taxi.

Here we are at the Kuala Perlis ferry port. We bought tickets for our ferry ride to Langkawi.

It costs Rm18 per person and we had to sit for another 1 hour in the ferry to reach our destination. The ferry is filled with colourful seats.

We were busy taking pictures when we were in the ferry.

Our destination, Langkawi!

We rented a car for just Rm50 per day and drove to our hotel in Pantai Tengah.

Check in to our hotel around 3pm..

Nothing good to say about this hotel except the nice swimming pool..

After putting down our luggage in the hotel room, we drove our rented car Iswara to the famous beach in Langkawi, Pantai Chenang. 

 White sandy beach and many local and foreign tourists were spotted at there.
