We spent 4 days in Langkawi and this time tried to see all the sights!
A few words about Malaysia: religion - Islam, currency - ringgit (10 Ringgit - 100 baht - 200 rubles - $ 3.5). Relative to the rest of Asia - the prices a little higher, a lot of guest-houses and hotels, but for short time rent prices are high - from 40 Ringgit, so internet and electricity we use in the cafe, and spent the nights on the boat.
The bike took for 20 ringgit per day (200 baht, 400 rubles, $ 8).
Every morning got shower in the sea (jumping from a boat into the water) with a nice view.
Lighthouse backdrop for the movie "Anna and the King".
In the picture are not clear, but there on the top is a cable car and suspension bridge. Entrance to the cable car (simple cubicle) + sky-dome (super video on the dome, similar to the screen of our Moscow planetarium, which shows a roller coaster, really fascinate, even though you are sitting in the chair) + visiting the bridge cost 35 ringgit per person. It was worth it! Emotions for the whole day)))
Turn consisted mainly of local and Indians)))
First climb up the middle station, look, walk, and then go to the top (again in the cabin) and then about 15 minutes through the jungle (construction trailers in full swing, but now - on the foot) to Sky Bridge. We were in cloudy weather (very lucky, because even so it was hot) and enjoy the views)))
After we went to see other sights. On the eastern tip of the island is the famous Eagle Square.
Just brochures were filled with promises of "black sand beach". Despite the map, we were looking for a pretty long time. The result of the search was the black sand strip no more than 10 by 5 meters))) I have seen black sand for the first time, so in general it's cool)))
Despite the fact that the island of Langkawi is included in the list of "World Heritage Site", from black beach you will see the cement factory ... Local authorities promise to close it by 2017.
Also we went to the highest point of the island - Mount Raya. At the bottom was warm and sunny, and on the top - clouds and cool. At the top, in the best tradition of "Silent Hill", was abandoned hotel with a lone guard. Wander through the misty hotel, all the while waiting for the invasion of zombies =))) Zombies not came, we went down.
On this sightseeing tour ended. Even just walking around the city,
met sailors from the warship "Admiral Panteleyev" (Vladivostok), made photo, laughed, was happy to met russians there.
Sent post cards to home, 1 ringgit for both.
Also we was on the beach))
From Langkawi we went to Sumatra, you can read about that in the next text)))
