Langkawi sightseeing and Xmas

We are in Kuah town, Bass Harbour moored at the lovely Royal Langkawi yacht club. The facilities are great with 2 restaurants, swimming pool, chandler and a walk from the centre of town.

Yesterday we celebrated xmas eve with a trip to the top of the cable car 705m above sea level. It was pretty scarry and I closed my eyes at times..The suspension bridge was even more freaky and after Eric, Ryan and Maya had crossed, it took me 10mins to get the courage to do the same. I never looked down, just straight ahead and prayed. Particularly when there was movement!




There was an animal park at the bottom of the gondola's with a tiger, elephant rides, deer and small petting animals
 The monkeys are everywhere as you walk along the road..

Last night we ate out at a local restaurant and did some last minute shopping..
After opening presents and santa stockings this morning, we had breakfast at the yacht club...Then stocked up with booze..24 cans of skol beer cost 32MR ($10.50AUD) 1L Gordons gin 40MR ($13AUD) The cans of sprite were more expensive than beer!!

Now we're heading for the pool to cool down, then lunch at the restaurant, probably a siesta, then a farewell dinner prior to Ryan and Maya's departure at 2100hrs for Kuala Lumpar, then onwards to Vancouver via Changhai

We wish you all a very Merry Xmas

About Me

We met in 1971 and it was Eric's dream to build his own yacht and sail the world. This became a joint dream but it was not until 1994 that we were able to start building. "Erica" was launched in 2001 after 7yrs building her. It then took us 5 yrs to prepare her and ourselves before leaving NZ to see the world
