Mopeding around the island (second full day)

These are rubber trees. Rows and rows of rubber trees. They tap them like maple trees. Its really neat. I remember watching nature shows about it. This is what we drove by on our moped everywhere on the Island of Lankawi. Quick background, our second full day in Langkawi Doug and I decided we were going to explore the island by renting a moped for 40 RM for 24 hours. This we discussed doing when we discovered the moped place the night before in Talaga Harbor. Well the day was a little overcast, so it wouldn't have been much fun sitting in the sun, instead we got up and got to it. We drove pretty much everywhere on the island, taking turns driving. Here are some of the views that we go to see.

Doug and I went to the highest point on the island. The road was about 20 kilometers up and the curves in that road were unbelievable. But it was a lot safer than going to look for the black sand beach we never found, where we got attacked by red ants that were huge! And the place where we thought it was suppose to be was a deserted resort. Yup adventures with Doug and Kirsten. Anyway we make it to the top of the mountain...and there were signs everywhere saying do not go any further...yet somewhere up there was a restaurant. Not sure if that was a good idea. But we made it to the top and on the way down was so much faster....almost like no brakes...you just coasted.

Here is a picture of the boats that were everywhere off the coast of the island. Lot of fishing...we ate fish every night....all kinds of fish from BBQ to fried to cooked in Thai seasoning. Awesome...but we stayed away from the Chinese.

A view of one of the beaches that we stopped at, not to far away from the Sheraton resort. We just stood there and looked out. Just happy to be there!

This was our moped and that is the handsome Doug. It was so much fun...every time we turned a corner he and i would chant left side left side....yes they drove on the left side...hours of fun for 40 RM a day and the people we rented from were hoot. His name was FEAR-DOUSE....well that how your said it anyway. I know I have all this stuff written down somewhere but no idea where it is now!!!

Just one adventure after another!
