Day 1

Setting an example that one can travel abroad even when one has a salary of 15000 bucks a month and that it is just about how one manages a trip. Trip in brief: Four day tour wherein I spent a day in Kuala Lumpur and then sallied forth to Langkawi with Penang in the last leg of the trip.

Kuala Lumpur ,a compact city of constant bustle and movement around buildings jutting into the sky. I started my day with breakfast at Village Park Restaurant ,where I had Nasi-Lemak ,the famous Coconut Rice Malaysian recipe. My next visit was to Batu Caves; It's farther than all other city attractions. Then I took a four hour walk all the way from Merdeka square to Bukit Bintang, covering Central Market, Upsidedown House Menara and Petronas Towers.

Day 2

From KLSentral I caught an overnight KTM train to Arau which is nearby Kuala Perlis Jetty. In the morning, I took ferry to Kuah Jetty, Langkawi where a gust of wind welcomed me with fragrance of rain water billowing from the shore. At jetty, I hired a scooter and headed for Cable Car ~ Sky Bridge experience. In the evening I checked in to a cottage with unique concept of making a perfect sojourn. Later I left for Cenang Beach where I had beers, walked by the sea, took nap & watched fire show.

Day 3

Next morning, I started with a healthy breakfast at Cactus Restaurant before leaving for Black Sand Beach and Tanjung Rhu Beach. It was a smooth ride of 50 kms on scooter from Pantai Cenang to Kuah via Tanjung Rhu. Finally I took a 3 hour cruise to reach Penang and alighted at Swettenham Pier,GeorgeTown. After check-in I spent the evening at  Batu Ferringhi market.

Day 4

Early morning I went on 2.5 Km trek through Penang National Park to Kerachut Beach. Sun was pressing me like an electric iron but I think it doesn't matter when you are on a vacation. So at some points I simply stood and watched picturesque views, holding one hand above my eyes to shade the beauty from its brilliant glare. It was peaceful listening to larks, rustling leafs & rush of water running through the hills. Well, my ears and eyes missed nothing what nature holds there.
