After more exercise in 7 days than we’d experienced in the preceding 3 months it was time for a well deserved rest on the Malayasian island of Langkawi. To save a bit of cash and to try and reduce the massive number of flights we’ve been booking we opted to take the boat across from Georgetown. With the nightmare of the Koh Tao crossing still fresh in our minds we dosed ourselves up with travel sickness pills and reluctantly boarded. To our delight the sea was like a mill pond and the crossing was super chilled with only blue skys and sunshine on the horizon.

Being a tax free island it’s a popular spot for Malaysians to visit and stock up on dirt cheap booze and fags. Not wanting to be left out we filled up our room’s fridge and spent the next three days drinking and relaxing on the deserted beach. When we’d sobered up sufficiently we hired a motorbike for a quick tour of the island but soon realised there was more fun to be had back on our balcony working our way through the liqour mountain.
