Langkawi Cable Car

Today we hired the hotel car and decided to drive around the island - which can easily be done in a day. Cute little bright green car - could see us coming a mile away






We went looking for a tailor so Nick could get some shorts made - we did find one. It was quite a nice drive around the island - we decided to go and check out the Langkawi cable car... this particular day we did not actually go on the cable car as we both chickened out just by looking at how high it was.




But we did return a few days later to pick up Nicks shorts and we went back to the cable car and actually went on it .... and it was the most scary thing I think I have ever done. The village you see in the picture is where we started from.....





We shared the cable car with another couple and it was quite funny we barely spoke or took a breath - it really was quite scary. It was so silent and through a skylight the wind was blowing and it was just awful.

















But the terrible thing was when we got to the top we knew that there was only one way down - we had to get back on the cable car. As we were going down I had to look back up towards the top I could not look down - it was just awful. But when we finally did get to the bottom we felt like we had accomplished something great.... the Langkawi Cable Car. It apparently is the worlds longest single cabled car- so there you go.



After getting off the cable car we had lunch in the Oriental Village - Thai ....good.
