A Day Driving Around Langkawi.

We hired a car and drive around the Langkawi Island and the following is a selection of the photos taken during our tour.

Visiting the Kota Mahsuri Musuleum. For more details see: www.kotamahsuri.com

 Loads of different types of Monkeys. Here we are at the Golf Club.

 This bunch was particular aggressive, so we did not open the windows.

 Looks like someone we know?

 The covered market.

The result from our second visit to the Duty Free.......

Royal Langkawi Yacht Club.

We are now in the famous RLYC as we are having parts send from Simrad in Denmark and also having workers to repair some pumps, if possible. Hard going and loads of down time here. It is extremely hot and the pool helps a bit, but still feel like a too hot baths tap where one forgot to also put cold water in.
