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.
