It's Thursday evening, February 16 and I'm on Langkawi, an island in Malaysia near the Thailand border.
I've been making my way north through Malaysia, primarily by bus. I have stopped in Ipoh, Penang, and now Langkawi. It's harder to spend as much time with updates when I'm on the move. Sorry for lagging!
My impression of Malaysia really hasn't changed, although Langkawi is a definite improvement. Malaysia has been oppressively hot, humid, and dirty. Being on the beach now helps though. 😊
But not enough to stay in Malaysia. I leave tomorrow. Where am I going? Tomorrow I take a ferry from Langkawi to Satun province in Thailand. My destination is Koh Lipe, an island that is not very accessible. From what I have read, there is only limited electricity, no ATMs, no banks, and no big resorts (only bungalow operations). There are at least 2 internet spots on the island though so I'll manage to get an update at some point in the next few days (no guarantees on photos though).
At the moment I'm on a computer with an old version of Windows that does not recognize my camera. Therefore, I'm having to download new drivers so I will be able to upload photos from my camera. Considering this place closes in 30 minutes, that's not a good thing. The connection speed is horrible as well. Doesn't look good for photos.
Sorry for the quick update...
Dave is moving too fast!
Look! There goes Dave!
