Langkawi - Day One


Flew into Langkawi with Malaysia Airlines which was crap, cramped and dirty...will never fly with them again. Flying over Langkawi was incredible seeing all the little islands and the colour of the water. We were headed for Tanjung Rhu Resort.





The service from the hotel staff was fantastic - we were picked up at the airport, check-in was done in the room and we were given a map of the resort and welcome drink. There was fresh fruit on the table for us - well stocked mini bar and coffee machine in the room. We had choosen an all inclusive package so we could eat, drink and be merry 24hrs a day, at any of the hotel restaurants and use room service.

The room was great - huge king size bed, lovely bathroom and a nice big deep bath - which I must say we took advantage of given the water restrictions here in Brisbane....its been such a long time, since I have had a nice long bubble bath....so it was heaven.



And the bathroom had the best ever tweezing mirror with a light around the edge - I wanted to take it home. (and you can buy them from Myers....no I have not bought one just yet!!)







So we just unpacked and relaxed for a while until dinner time. We had three restaurants to choose from for dinner as well as two poolside bars.






We chose the Saffron restaurant overlooking the ocean - sunset was amazing and the food was great too.





So we enjoyed lots of good food and lots of drink while watching a beautiful sunset...this really was paradise.


Tomorrow was time to get some serious sunshine.
