We had a fun time over Merdeka weekend visiting Langkawi. Our adventure began when we got off the airplane and there were no taxis waiting to pick people up. As it was approaching midnight, we were a bit worried. We then heard from people at the airport that there had been lots of rain, and it was difficult to get between the airport and the city. As a result our airport pick-up was not there.
Thankfully, we were able to snag a taxi, and all was fine until we started seeing water on all sides of the road, and then started going through water that was over the road. Some 4 x 4s and larger SUV's were plowing through the water, but our little taxi decided to head down some back roads. . . only to find the bridge washed out and water pouring over the road. It was into reverse, and we slowly made our way over a pedestrian walkway and through little paths that went the way back to the main road. And we were quite happy to pull up to the hotel.
It was a fun two day vacation, and nice to get out of town. The kids had great fun fighting the waves, and we enjoyed some walks on the beach and reading books while dodging more rain.
