Langkawi, I Just Love it part 1

Well my pictures i think it is placed backwards, so i will just explain when you read along.
So i had a very enjoyable trip to Langkawi, very enjoyable, me and my wife just love Langkawi now. Thats because everytime we go there we get to enjoy the things we like.
The Last time we went was last year July, Stayed in Awana Resort, ok, nice and simple, cool also, Most importantly was the chocolate and the alcohol that made us kept coming back. I love to drink, not an addict buy for pleasure of my taste towards high quality spirit. Last time i had my very first Single Malt wisky, Enjoyed it very much, this time i got myself a Contreau Orange Liquour, very nice with tonic, been drinking the last 2 days already, The other nice spirit is the korean plum liquour .
This time round we get to stay in Berjaya Resort Langkawi. Thats why my wife is so excited about it, i m also excited as well, as i have never stayed in a resort thats 5 bintang before. Its something of a life time experience for me, The berjaya is located in Pantai Kok somewhere west of the island, about 20 min slow drive from Airport, and 30 min to Kuah town, bring along a GPS is you have one, so that journey wont be so annoying, Langkawi is not very big but there some roads to recognise.

Our chalet is not on water, ours is located in the jungle. Where monkey and birds with insects and centipede roam. Well the jungle is really cooling, and it has the surround sound of insect and cicada sound 24 hours round, can you imagine what im trying to describe here.
Berjaya resort is really a nice cool place to go, although situated in a zon of inconvinience but spending the time there is really worth the trip. Nothing that i would like to complain about, just the food, if you have a car then it is really much easier. The kuai lo walk all the way from Berjaya for about 3 km or so to get to food, and in the dark, i think i m damm lucky to have rent a car because they probably have the slightest idea that the place is so secluded that food is difficult to find. of course i meant good cheap food, not hotel boring always the same menu food.

First night we were in Kuah so we had seafood, tiger prawn, sotong, seafood taufu, and some sort of mussel, reconmended by the chef.
The swiming pool is great, the water isnt that clean but heck, the view and layout is cool. plenty of green and plus a nice view of the hill, where the cable car is, at the background. There is a bar at the swiming pool, like most 5 bintang they serve drinks, where the kuai lo loves to drink when the soak themselves in the water. hehe, hardly see them swim, mainly peluk here and there and then relax at the bench, and read some book, most of them are obese. some are nice also, dont like that, not all of them are fat mah, but mainly fat lah.

Our chalet is 3197, situated midway into the jungle route. Its not very big, but it is very cozy, comes with a nice balcony, where you can relax and take a time out observing nature and looking at time passing by,



We had simple lunch and breakfast, but the idea came from my wife taking bread there and Ritz biscuit, with Ayam Brand tuna spread, we took 4 cans there bought in Tesco Setia Alam.
At least we get to enjoy our meals on the nice balcony,

On the second day, monkey came and infiltrate our balcony, leaving us trap inside the room. I had the sense that there were caught with the tuna smell,
Bath room is simple, like any other hotel , nothing to boast about





bedroom came with twin bed, dont ask, but they joined it in the end.,

When you are at the lobby, you have to take a shuttle bus to the chalet, its a very big resort so its kind of a long walk climbing hill to the chalet, so most of the time we take the shuttle to the lobby and to the chalet.
The ride is nice, feeling very important and like a great service to the guest, but workers there are polite and nice, and very helpful. of course we paid so much for it.

Kuah town is the same as usual we know our way in and out, i had remembered every shop position , no problem with knowing which shop had what chocolate cheaper and when are the expriry date. hehe, that small..
Eagle square, we went there at last, The last time we practically didnt go anywhere, not like a tourist, As july was raining some days, making us feeling very homely. this time January, the sun is out there cooking the skin of who ever expose themselves, like me, really hot, killing hot, but it does complement the day by having nice blue sky great for photo sessions...

More to come in part 2
