Travel Log: Fear & Loathing in Langkawi (Day 3)

Previous Day (Island Hopping in the Rain)

Destination: Langkawi, Malaysia
Duration: 3 Days 2 Nights (Oct 28~Oct 30, 2016)

Day 3: Underwater World & Home

We woke up at around 8.30am this time for breakfast today so that we will have some time for the pool before checked out. This time we really walked around the breakfast pool area and found that there were really lots of choices outdoor. There were Nasi Lemak, Roti Pratha, Tomyam Koay Teow, Porridges and other local pastries at the other sides. I particularly liked the roti pratha with the savoury curry available there. However, there were some hygiene issue as the food outdoor had flies hovered over them.

After breakfast, we proceeded for last minute swimming in the pool before checking out at the last minute of 12noon. After checked out, we had no idea what to do as we did not plan anything. *facepalm* We bumped into a taxi at the lobby and asked the driver on whether it was possible to go for cable car and got to airport by 4.30pm. The driver was very honest and told us we wouldn’t make it as there would be long queue since it was Sunday.

We ended up storing our luggage at the hotel and walked to Cenang area again. *sigh* Since we had around 3hours++ to kill and Underwater world was just right in front of us, we simple walked in and purchased the tickets. Frankly speaking, the place was really a disappointment and there were not much to see at all. Definitely not worth the money of the entrance ticket. There were other activities such as mirror maze and some disaster simulation which were charged separately! *rolleyes* What a tourist trap!
Not too impressed.. 
Seals
Penguins
Communicating with Penguin?
Penguin following our fingers.. i guess we look like food? =P
Say Hi!
Giant Penguin?
Hmm... not sure what fish that is!
We stayed back to watch feeding session – there was a simple performance from sea lions which was okay but the feeding session for penguin was plain boring. Not to mention that the narrative was all in Malay – I didn’t think any foreigners would understand that!

By the time we left the place, it was too late for us to have a decent meal in a restaurant. We ended up buying Shawarma from a Turkish restaurant right opposite Aseania Resort to eat in hotel lobby. It cost RM15 and it was really BAD! The meat was really meagre and the wrap felt empty. The Shawarma from Penang Gurney Paragon Food Loft was so much better (link)!

Packed like some stationary! LOL!!!
One can hardly see any meat.. 
The Langkawi airport was quite small and we managed to go through custom without issue. Funny thing was I didn’t think they really checked on alcohol at all – we brought along 2 bottles of Moet and 1 bottle of Hoegaarden in our luggage and they didn’t ask us to open the luggage for further checking. UGH! We should’ve bought more!!! Our flight was on time miraculously but we encountered some turbulence which was quite scary. Anyway it was a short flight so we landed in Penang Airport in no time! Time to get a bus to get home! =)
The Rules!
Goodbye Langkawi!
Someone got a Window Seat
On Rapid Penang Bus! LOL!!!
