Langkawi Legend Island - Home of the Eagle

Pictures added to last post.



We have spent the last few days relaxing.  Michael has been doing plenty of diving finally obtaining his Advanced Open Water Certificate which means he is now as qualified as our youngest son.  Peace returns to the Herring household.

I have spent my time wandering the shops, catching up on some reading and completing a few crosswords.
 
The night before last we decided to take a walk through the monsoonal rain and happened upon a deserted Hindu temple – well, deserted except for one rather strange looking bare chested priest.  The priest invited us in and then chanted before one of the altars.  He then passed his hand through a candle flame and then touched his hand to our foreheads, then passed his hand through the flame again, picked up some of the ash & anointed our foreheads.  A rather lovely and spiritual experience.

Plenty of good street food with Annette impressed by the Roti Tisu, with some recommendations from the locals to also assist with finding good spots.

  1. Herring tell me you didn't scare the locals with a pair of budgy smugglers while diving!
