I said hello to Malaysia a couple of days ago. It was so sunny that it was impossible to predict yesterday's huge amounts of rain. Nikki and I had planned to go island hopping in the morning but had to wait until 2 p.m. to see if the sky would clear up. It didn't but at least it stopped raining so we managed to brave through the lingering grayness.
We got on the boat and, shortly afterwards, noticed that it was pretty choppy, which soon became a source of never ending laughter. On the first island we visited, we paddled in a lake and I must say that we did it gracefully - especially when it started raining again. While we took cover under a wooden shelter, we met Thor from Norway, who I believe is a very good connection to have in this type of weather. We soon got back on the boat and made our way to a beach, where it also started raining and where we also bumped into Thor.
At the end of the tour, we did one of the nicest things you can possibly do on a rainy day - we treated ourselves to tea and scones with strawberry jam and cream. I really loved pouring tea while listening to Nikki's story about a guy she met a couple of weeks ago. This was definitely one of the coziest moments I had in the last couple of months.
The day ended with us dancing in "Babylon". Thor was also there and I am sure that he managed to put in a good word for us because the weather today was just great. So much so that we managed to take Langkawi's cable car to its middle and top stations and enjoy breathtaking views over the islands and the rainforest - surely a godly world view.
