Langkawi Island Tour

We found ourselves a taxi for the day to explore the island. Langkawi is comprised of 99 islands and very mountainous. They built a cable car that will take you to the top of one of the highest peaks. You have some amazing views of the whole area. Plus many golden eagles make their home around the islands and we were lucky enough to see some soaring above the trees.

Josie and Morgan going up up up.....

A view from the top

Once you get to the top there is a "bridge to nowhere" that connects two peaks for breath-taking views!

Tim paid about fifty cents to hold this eagle, once again from a "professionally trained" animal handler! Tim said the eagle had quite a grip on him, and he thought (after the eagle was holding his arm) that the eagle could easily tear him apart!

Next stop...hike up to a waterfall and then go for a swim. The girls didn't really care for playing in the water, but Tim LOVED it. Maybe modeling around waterfalls is a possible career for the future???? ; )
Tim found a rotted-out coconut and thought it made for quite a picture! Perhaps the next cover of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue?

This is a banana tree on the way down from the waterfall. I find it fun to discover some of the tropical fruits naturally growing in these areas.

Last we stopped at eagle square, built right on the water close to the main city of Langkawi. Adayla wanted to be an eagle!

I guess we should tell you that Langkawi means "brown eagle." They are proud of the many eagles that still fly free around the island. They're beautiful!

To end it with a cold refreshing ice cream cone.....nothing better tasting than SWEET CORN ice cream, right Tim??? Look closely and you can see the kernels in the ice cream! New sights, new sounds, new tastes...
