Langkawi

Again I was out of bed by 7 AM, had breakfast and waited for driver, who was there around 8.15 AM. He had to pick up some customers, but at one hotel they were not there, which took up to 25 minutes.

At the marina just a chance to drink half a cup of coffee and then go to the ferry to Palau Payer. It took again over an hour before we finally were in the water. We would first dive to a wreck and then to Coral Garden, but the view at the wreck was so bad that I did not even try to go deep (though I arrived at 23 meters), the others went deeper, causing some people were 'lost'. We swam in the 'emptyness' to the reef, where it was good visibility and there was plenty to see. Unfortunately, the dive lasted only 45 minutes.



This time somewhat early lunch at 12.45 PM. That still gave me just the opportunity to look in the area where many are snorkeling. Around 1.40 PM time to dive. This time I went alone with TJ, my guide, to Shark Point. A lot of hard coral, with at depth worse sight. Still lots to see, including scorpionfish. The dive lasted 50 minutes.

Then return by ferry and then with the van. Around 5.10 PM I was back in my room. I did not want to swim and worked somewhat on my travel diary and website.

In the evening I wanted to eat. I walked into the restaurant and ordered something that was not there. I was annoyed again, because at this resort there is a lot wrong in the organization. I walked to the restaurant outside the resort, but they only accepted cash and I was low on that. Then anyway I had some dinner at the other restaurant on the resort, because I could pay with a credit card.

Then watch some TV and work on my website and sleep around midnight
