Pulau Langkawi & Pulau Payar



So far the most relaxed place I have ever been to. I spent a total of 4 days in this incredibly green archipelago that is conformed by 99 islands with some amazing geological formations and white sandy beaches. The place was so chilled that coming only with the intention of spending 2 days I decided instead to stay for 4 nights, and celebrate my birthday. I crashed in a bungalow that belong to this odd Iranian-Japanese couple who were incredibly hospitable.
For my birthday I decided to rent a motorbike and travel across Langkawi in search of some waterfalls, that are a popular site. It was an great time to drive through the island, and enjoy some great sites. Later when I got home, my hostess through a Fish BBQ with Beers and sang me happy B-DAY with a nice cake along with the other guests. 3 out of the 4 guests were also traveling alone and ended up going out with me to the local bars later that night.
The day before I got to see some great corals reefs in Pulau Payar and swim with sharks and huge Barracudas. In some of the other islands I saw a lot of eagles hunting for fish, and monkeys hunting crabs on the beach.
