Although we arrived in Langkawi, Malaysia early in the morning we took it pretty easy and didn't leave the ship until lunchtime. We headed out to the shopping strip at 12:30 on the ship's shuttle service. On the strip we stopped at McDonald's to attempt to get WiFi (no luck, but the ice cream made getting lunch less urgent), picked up Malaysian currency for the next few days, and then walked out to look for lunch.
We ended up stopping at a nice, open restaurant and splitting prawn pad thai, a chicken cashew curry (with a red sauce, not as good as in Phang Nga) and green papaya salad. The restaurant had a cat that begged for food in a very charismatic manner (but got nothing from us).
We took our time walking back to the shuttle, and stopped by the stunning beach. It was a great, inexpensive, afternoon outing. We were back in our stateroom washing off the sand and humidity by 3:15. The beaches so lovely, and the cost of food so reasonable that Langkawi made it on to our list of future vacation destinations.
