langkawi 08 : monday, 21-jul

bangun aje pagi ni, tengok luar tingkap dulu. lega hari cerah. pagi ni resh pulak balik kl. lepas resh check-in kat airport, kitorang pegi breakfast dulu. cuma aku, omar, zach dan resh. lagi dua orang tu sambung tidur tak mau ikut. sarapan roti canai kat restoran mempelam. dengarnya dr m pun datang makan kat sini. kat dinding kaunter bayar tu, ada gantung gambar tauke kedai bersama-sama dr m. atas gambar tu pulak, gambar tauke tengah pose maut...hehehe.



we just drop off resh at the airport. from there, drive to pantai tengah. nak mandi laut. pagi yang cerah dan cantik. perfect for our last day of the trip. air pasang dan ombak kuat. really huge and it's endless. we're like riding the waves. totally cool! sakit jugak badan bila kena hempas dgn ombak yang besar-besar tu. tercampak dan terpusing-pusing lah dalam air tu. yang bestnya, pantai kat sini tak dalam. pegi tengah pun kira selamat lagi. memang puas hati lah. rugi sapa tak ikut...


back at hotel, baru kemas back. tak banyak pun beli barang tapi beg tetap sendat. yang beg kecik tu pulak penuh coklat aje. we check-out at noon. ke cenang nak singgah pondok keladi kejap. salah jalan jugak mula-mula tu. banyak sangat simpang kat dalam ni. dah lah takde papan tanda langsung.

jumpa jugak akhirnya. get to know about this place from irwan. the owner of pondok keladi, di is a friend of irwan. unfortunately, he's not in town when we come. the other caretaker, mark greets and shows us around. it's a small secluded resort located in the middle of kampung. cantiknya laman depan yang luas tu dengan pokok-pokok kelapa. ada 6 bilik aje kat sini. basic but looks comfortable. kat tengah-tengah tu, ada balai rehat. attached is a kitchen where we can cook here. mesti best duduk melepak kat balai ni ditiup angin sambil makan-makan...



mark also brings us to the beautiful garden at the backyard of the private house. depan rumah tu penuh pokok seri pagi. nice shade. sempat lagi kitorang mengendap dalam rumah tu...hehehe. so he shows us the interior and it looks so cosy. i really like the high ceiling which made from a woven material. daun apa tak pasti. yang penting, ada outdoor shower lagi.



if only we knew this place earlier! well, there's always next time. oh ya..kat pantai tengah, ada pondok keladi 2. yang ni rumah sebijik jadi boleh duduk satu rumah ramai-ramai. we then say goodbye to mark, bill, lucy and melissa. next time, boleh lah cuba duduk sini. tengah kampung pulak.


drive straight to gerai at kuah that we went on our first day here. kelaparan ni. lepas lunch, ke pekan kuah. kalau-kalau ada yang nak memborong. aku nak beli cokelat lagi sebab rasa macam tak cukup aje hari tu. at the end, spent over hundred jugak lah for chocolates.

zach pecut balik hotel. kitorang tinggalkan beg kat hotel tadi. sempat aje pun. selesai check-in, duduk kat starbucks aje tunggu boarding. wish i could extend the stay. flight is quite full this evening. lebih kurang 6pm, terbang lah kitorang meninggalkan permata kedah. macam biasa, pengumuman kata dah nak mendarat tapi lama lagi sebenarnya. kacau tidur aku aje...

dari airport, ambik teksi balik armanee.

it's a great and happening weekends getaway. memang enjoy lah. and i'm already looking forward to our next holiday...
