Wednesday 11th April 2012 - Langkawi

Dany and I met in the morning and headed to the beach at 9am for a swim and for breakfast. Breakfast consisted of peanut butter crackers and lychee juice bought from the shop.  After the beach we walked around aimlessly until we reached "underwater world" - an aquarium. We had nothing better to do so we decided to go in. It was the biggest waste of money known to man - Dany paid though so he must have been pissed!! It was rm38 per person and was just really small. There were some pretty crazy fish in there and I even saw fishes that I had seen myself whilst snorkelling which was kinda cool. The most amazing fish was probably the lion fish - it has so many different nuts and crannies that it didn't look real.  After the underwater world we stopped to have food but I had a really bad headache, I had it for 2 days already, so i wanted to head back to rainbow lodge to sleep to try and budge it. Whilst walking back to the lodge two girls that Dany had met at the lodge came and started speaking to him in french. Dany explained that the girls had been on the beach but had been told to leave because there had been an earthquake in indonesia which could cause a tsunami here. We arrived at the lodge where the news was on - a red alert had been issued and everyone had been advised to go to higher ground until they knew what the situation was. All boats had stopped running also which meant that we might not be able to leave Langkawi the next day as planned. Luckily the red alert was lifted and despite the earthquake being a pretty big one that some of the locals had felt, we were safe. My headache was so bad that I ended up sleeping for the rest of the day.
