Tanjung Rhu beach in Langkawi was the perfect slow ending to a trip that started fast paced in KL traffic and city noise.
Good trip on paper but the transfer up to Langkawi ate most of an afternoon and I reached the resort completely drained. The mangrove cruise the next morning was excellent, yet the first island evening was basically written off by the travel time.
Penang Hill views from the top were incredible, worth getting there early before the crowds built up.
Tanjung Rhu beach in Langkawi was the slow, quiet ending my fast-paced KL start needed.
Nine nights sounds generous but the Langkawi beach days came right at the end, just when I was finally in the mood to explore more. Still, watching the sun drop over Tanjung Rhu was a fine way to close things out.
