The only way to do it!!!

I love the scooter! I saw so much of Langkawi that I never would have otherwise, all on my very own scooter....rented, but my own driving!!!! A little scary when the water buffalo charged across the road, but all in all, so cool! We left after the rain yesterday, or so we thought until we got caught in a crazy rainstorm!!!! After getting gas, we went up to the cable cars, which were closed due to clouds. I'm not afraid of heights, but I'm kinda ok with them being closed, cause those suckers were high!!!!! We then went to Seven Wells and hiked up about 800 stairs through the jungle to the top of a very cool waterfall to chill at the Seven Wells, then back down to see the bottom of the waterfall and a few monkeys along the way! After making our way back down the last 300 stairs or so we took off to a masoleum. There is a legend in Langkawi that we were told by our cab driver in KL, and then the bartender here, about a woman who bled white blood a put a curse on the island....so the dealio, this woman was born under all sorts of auspicious signs and was beautiful and people wrote poetry about her and all sorts of stuff. She ended up marrying someone of some importance in Langkawi who went off to battle. In order to take her down, a rumour was started that she was unfaithful, and was to be put to death. She was tied to a tree and despite all of their efforts, the villagers couldn't kill her. In the end, they had to kill her with her own sword and she died tied to a tree. Before she died she put a curse on the island that if she was not guilty, there would be no development on the island for 7 generations. They cut her and she bled white blood, and for 7 generations, no development. They are now at generation 9 and things are starting to pick up tourist wise, and there's a cement plant...believe it!?!?!
That was about the end of that day, we biked back, went to the fancy hotel swim up bar for happy hour and made a few new friends and then out for a very western dinner of pizza and cheeseburger and fries, and to the moldy room for a sleep.
This morning, after waiting out the rain, we biked way up north, cause I'm super fast now, and went to the black sand beach, a crazy cool craft place, hot springs and the sweet beach and then biked right on back here to try to book flights for next week. Only seven more sleeps till the trek home....
Off to the reggae bar on the beach now (notice a trend...) and then back to Subang. Just now decided I would go to Pangkor with some of the gals from school tomorrow, so back home long enough to clean up and off again! Going to bus out there tomorrow afternoon and grab a ferry...and then Monday-Thursday in Phuket I think....but if you look back over the blog you'll notice that the plans never remain the same!!!!!
That's enough internet time for me my friends, I have to go have one more beer on the beach before flying away....to another beach!!!!!!!!! Ciao....Peace!!!!!!!
