As early as 7:30am my boy started to stir in the bed. Must be he wanted to pee, I thought. True enough, after a few stirs he woke up and went to the toilet. He came back up on the bed, but it didn’t take long for him to start asking me to wake up. Haih… there’s no going back to sleep after the dragon has awaken.The suite includes buffet breakfast, so we had quite a heavy meal. We went to the Oriental Village (that’s where the cable car station is) at about 10:30 am. While FIL queue up to purchase the cable car tickets, we spent some time in a fenced area where rabbits roam freely. My girl had fun patting and chasing the rabbits.
The ticketing staff told FIL that we had to wait for another 2.5 hours in a queue before our turn to alight the cable car (no thanks to the exceptionally large crowd). So we changed plan to visit Underwater World instead and come back in the evening or next day.
The Underwater World is quite nice albeit admission is kind of expensive. The place is not as big as I had expected; the 3D show has nothing 3D about it … could be because of the lousy 3D specs *thumbs down*. I took some videos of the penguins and clown fish because I didn’t manage to get any good photo shots of these animals.
We had late lunch at the Sun Café. The food was absolutely delicious with a fairly large serving. MIL commented that this is ‘real’ café food… like those you’d find in western countries. I ordered fettuccine carbonara to share with the kids (actually both of them finished 80% of the serving!!), MIL shared barracuda fish that comes with potato gratin (as a side dish) and potato & leek soup with FIL while hubby had sandwich (which looks like a burger), Sorry no photos because we chomped down the food as soon as they were served! :P
Before heading back to Oriental Village, we detoured to The Datai and The Andaman to have a look. Heh…we were curious as to what the resorts look like since they have such expensive rates. Luckily the morning crowd at the ticketing booth had dispersed so there’s only a short queue to cable car. We were told that we are not allowed to stop at the 1st station as it was already quite late in the evening. The ride from base station to the top (and vice versa) takes about half an hour. The
children had ice cream at the station. On our way down from the viewing deck, there’s a furry caterpillar on one of the step; I quickly snap a shot. Ain’t it cute? 
Where is the horizon? 天与海连成一片的情景
After we got back to the hotel, we let the children have some fun playing sand at the beach. Again we head for the pool after we had enough of the sand. Don’t ask me why, but we went back to the same place for seafood dinner. So, if you asked me to list the good places to eat in Langkawi, I’d tell you Teo, Teo, Sun Café and Teo! Heh! :P
