10.8.17
Today monsoon blast all morning so to not waste time we went an incredible 3D art museum.The paintings were life size, in all the pictures no person was painted. The places where people were meant to be were empty, so you go and pose while someone took a photo of you. Then when other people look at the photo it looks like you are fighting a dragon or flying with white wings. When we came out of the museum it had stopped raining so went on the sky cab a kind of bubble lift like when skiing but this time above the juggle. The sky cab went up to the highest mountain in Malaysia ! Also on the way we were supposed to see 7 waterfalls rather disappointingly we only saw 2, still the view was amazing we almost saw the other end of the island !!
11.8.17-13/8/17
Leaving Langkawi we went to The 'Hole in the wall' - a local name for a creek leading from the sea to an anchorage which turned out rather bizarrely to be almost a boat graveyard - whole host of boats moored to weather the monsoon...
Having eaten at the fish farm restaurant ( enforced penury of selection as running out of Malaysian ringgit) we were picked up at our boat the next day to visit the bat cave and other local sites.. Bat cave quite spectacular but for me the 12 golden eagles diving for food was the highlight - not something you see every day!
Since then we have returned to Thailand - passing by Tarantao the night before last and then last night back to craggy Phedra island. This is really the rock of nightmares however it was a safe anchorage through a horrible storm last night which saw a cat with a shredded genoa come and seek safe harbour with us as well as various local boats.
Now on ko ngai - monsoon seems set in so good mornings and rainy afternoons. Back to ko phi phi tomorrow.
