Langkawi is an eastern Carribean-like delight. Located North of Malaysia, it\\\'s 2 hours away by plane from Singapore, you\\\'ll arrive at one of Malaysia\\\'s finest beach destinations, a place to relax, refresh and rejuvenate overlooking the vast Andaman ocean.
The island is a duty-free zone, nestled between beaches and mountains. Vehicle rental is cheap and accessible, and the best way to roam around and explore the island.
Waterfalls greet you across the landscape, the local people are friendly and peaceful jungle walks could help you pass a peaceful day.
In the evenings, enjoy live reggae by the beaches, or lie on the beach watching the romantic sunsets.
Langkawi Island has recently been re-branded as \\\"LANGKAWI GEOPARK\\\" to better reflect the island\\\'s recogition by UNESCO as a World Geopark (on June 1, 2007). Three of its main Geopark components are Mt. Machincang Cambrian Geoforest Park, Kilim Geoforest Park and Pulau Tasik Dayang Bunting (Island of the Pregnant Maiden Lake).
Sheltered by the mountainous backbone of Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi escapes the northeastern winter monsoon entirely and enjoys sunny skies when the eastern provinces are flooded. Coupled with natural white sand beaches, lush jungle foliage and craggy mountain peaks – but hampered by inaccessibility – the island was at one time touted as \\\"Malaysia\\\'s best-kept secret\\\".
The most popular beach on Langkawi has to be Cenang.

I'm up at 730am, and today's the day that we say goodbye to Langkawi! Sigh... time flies when you're having fun.
After a nice warm shower, Joann and I start packing up our stuff, just to make sure we don't leave anything behind later. Then we head down for a breakfast of mee goreng (fried noodles) and (surprise! Surprise!) bread with butter, jam and scrambled eggs. After breakfast, we take a short stroll to the beach to breathe in the sea air and take in the view one last time before we lea…
