Day 170 - Rain scare and pampering my feet


Has our good weather spell been broken??  It was clear when we went to breakfast, but just as we were heading to the pool, the rain started coming down.  Plan B – go up to the lobby and use the internet for my blog and emails, book a tour to a local marine park for snorkling and a day spa session for Saturday. 
By lunchtime the weather had cleared so Nic and I resumed positions on the lounges beside the pool.  I had considered a swim at the beach but the water was not really clear.  My cough was a lot better, so I got stuck into some laps in the pool, then rewarded myself with ipod and Sudoku time.  There is a real mix of people at the various pools, quite a few families but also couples of all ages. 

Just before 5pm I headed off for a quick shower then to the day spa.  I had decided to reward my feet for the past 6 months of faithful service – they have taken me to 4 continents, and I have really punished them at times.  I had a deluxe pedicure that was delicious.  The fish spa had been good but nothing like really giving the feet a good scrub and then to top it off with freshly painted nails. 

After the treatment it was vodka o'clock on our verandah and time for a snack.  I have generally not been hungry for lunch during the day but am starving by late afternoon.  Nic and I are planning on heading out further afield in Langkawi tomorrow night for dinner, so stayed in tonight.  I had hoped that we would be able to attend a local hawkers market at night but they aren’t in the local area.

It was really quiet in the main restaurant at the hotel tonight.  I am trying to stick with Malaysian food as much as possible a) because it is so good and b) not long until we leave Malaysia so I won’t eat this type of food again for awhile.
