Island Escape

Photo heavy post on a recent trip to Langkawi with friends....

Just a relaxing (non-food) post, inspired by a recent trip to the Langkawi (Taj Hotel Rebak Island Resort)...
:)

Are you feeling gloomy? Maybe it's time to fly away:
Zoom zoom....


Quickly - Jump into your getaway boat and zoom off into the horizon:
Making waves along the way....


Make an escape into your hideaway home:
Loved the hotel villas we stayed in! Wished my house is this nice....


... but don't get too tempted by its comforts:
The room interior was nice too - very comfortable....


Find a spot on the beach, under the clear blue skies:
Sunny days are a beach holiday essential :)....


Time to RELAX! Sitting around, doing nothing is such a rare bliss:
BLISS....


When the sun starts to wane, enjoy the quiet moments, the tranquility:
The beautiful marina next to the island resort....


Savour the last lingering rays of the sun, before it takes a rest for the night:
Sunsets - always beautiful....


I love beach holidays.
.. and this was one that felt very long overdue - Really enjoyed taking the time off (just a long weekend) with friends to enjoy the wonderfulness of doing nothing** by the beach.
(** By doing nothing, what I really mean is: chit chatting, eating, drinking and relaxing to our hearts' content)


Slightly more tan,
J

    Like that pic :D ... oh and you didn't need to come purposely tell me about the truffle/seaweed butter, lol. After all when you eat 3-4 meals a day, and blog about a meal a month ago ... that's already like 'one hundred meals ago,' of course might forget one or two little details :P
