Left Perhentian islands yesterday, and spent the day in an Islamic town called Kota Bharu. Then took an overnight bus to Kuala Perlis, and ferry to Langkawi. First one departed at 6am, so here we are, at 8 am, Langkawi, Malaysia.
Again we had no accomodation booked ahead, but caught a knowledgeable taxi driver from the ferry terminal and found an acceptable deal on a bit more upscale chalet.
The plan was to spend some days in Langkawi and then fly to Bangkok, but now it turns out there are no flights connecting those two places. What that means, for us, I don't know yet. And I'll only start caring about it after some serious beach time on Malaysias best beaches (and duty-free beer).
For those of you interested in money; yesterday we spent 35 Ringets to ferry from Perhentian Kecil to mainland, shared a 50 RM taxi to Kota Bharu with Victoria & Hannah, paid 8 RM for taxi to to bus corrext bus station (there are three of those in Kota Bharu, bear in mind next time you're around the place), bought bus tickets for 40 RM (the seats reclined almost to vertical, and had leg supports, but still sleeping wasn't easy), then paid 18 RM to ferry to Langkawi, and 24 RM to taxi to take us to Cenang beach, where we are now gonna get a few hours of sleep until go check out the place.
So the total for 3 taxis, 2 ferries, and one 8-hour cross-the-country bus is 122 RM per person, which is something shy of 30 €. This chalet costs 110 RM a night, which is ok, especially when we get to switch over to a beach-front one tomorrow.
