, except forWhat a wonderful day spent with friends in Langkawi. We love it when folks organize trips and invite us to come too! Our group of 11 (Oceania 11) started the day being picked up at the port and driving to the river to pick-up a boat. The boat tour through the mangroves was just the beginning of the fun!
The river wound through the mountains and the riverbank was lined with mangroves, so interesting to see how they grow. So many colours of green. Our first stop was to see the eagles - the tour operators throw food into the water and the eagles all come and dive. So hard to photograph.
Our next stop was my favourite - feeding the swimming monkeys. So much fun, we were given small bananas and the monkeys would swim out and take them from our hands. One mama came out with her baby on her back - how that poor baby monkey didn't drown, I have no idea.
After the monkeys we sailed through the crocodile cave (no crocs, cave exterior just looks like a crocodile) and from here we arrived at the bat caves. These caves were very cool - pictures will come later except for Adrian in the bat sign. Lunch was at a floating fish farm restaurant right on the river. They were farming, lobster, shrimp, grouper, anget fish and stingrays. Sooo cool.
After the river cruise we headed off to the cable car and sky bridge. An amazing cable car - up two levels of the mountains. Wonderful view of the whole harbour and area. From the top we to an elevator down to the skybridge and very proudly we walked back up to the top!
On the walk back to the ships tender we were stopped by friends who were enjoying a beer and fries and needed some help finishing them. Adrian proudly stepped up and helped drain the pitcher since there were no extra glasses nearby. A great end to a fabulous day!
