Day 156 -- KL to Langkawi

Got up this morning and dazed inadvertently turned off my alarm clock...luckily I woke up a few minutes later and realized I had a flight so got up immediately. Scrambled to get my bag packed and met up with Mike at his hostel @8AM...We made our way on the train to Sentral station, caught the 1 hour bus to the airport and checked in for our flight. McDonald's at the airport and had my first American breakfast in a long time...nice to know what you're getting sometimes....pancakes, real syrup...great! Boarded our Air Asia flight and it was a bumpy ride to Langkawi. When we arrived it started pouring down rain. Since we had done no research prior to arrival we realized that the only way for us to get around here would be to rent a car. Got a Nissan Sentra for 3 days, set us back $50USD...not bad! Made our way into town and got checked into this shady bungalow since almost everything was booked and we didn't want to wander in the rain anymore! Tired from a long night, took a nap and ended up waking up at about 8pm...most of the day wasted :( Walked to nearby Gecko hostel for dinner, empty so we went down the road to the Mexican place...Didn't quite cure my Mexican craving, but its a start. After that spent some time on the internet before calling it a night.
