(This is a backdated post for 8th December 2009)

After we left the beach, we headed for the swimming pools, hoping to go for another short swim with Darius. However, the pools appeared to be under some kind of maintenance so we ended up making use of the bathing facilities at their restrooms to wash ourselves up.

While waiting for Catherine by the pool, I noticed this unique looking bird perching on the tree. It had a huge peak and was unlike any bird I’ve seen in Singapore.

Can you locate its beak?

We then headed to the resort’s main restaurant for a breakfast buffet. The time was 9.45am and we were told that the buffet would end at 10.30am. Seeing that we still had sufficient time to finish up our breakfast within that time frame, and since there wasn’t much alternatives, we decided to go the buffet.

The spread and taste of the food were alright and we were glad to have filled up our stomachs before our 2.05pm flight, which would be in another 3 to 4 hours’ time.

"Give me my food!"

Returning to our room to finish packing our luggage, we checked out from the resort by 12 noon. The check-out procedure was smooth and before we knew it, we were already on our way to the airport on a cab we had called at the resort, hired at the same price as when we first arrived from the airport — RM24. I had thought there would be extra surcharges but glad there wasn’t.

As the Langkawi Airport was rather small, there was nothing much for us to do after we had done all the flight’s check-in procedures. We were simply lazing around at the airport till it was boarding time, where we headed to the boarding area and waited even longer as the flight had been delayed.

It was around 2.30pm that we were asked to board the plane. Coincidentally, we were washing Darius’ milk bottle and bringing him to pee at the restroom at that time, and we ended up being the last passengers to board the plane. It sure was a special experience to be walking towards an airplane outside the airport and no other passenger was present.

Despite the rush towards the plane, we managed to sneak in a shot to commenerate this moment:

It didn’t take much longer for the plane to move off and prepare for its take-off, probably because the plane was already running late due to its delayed arrival.

As we saw Langkawi getting further and smaller while the plane took off, we knew it was a sign of the end of our vacation. Well, it’s of course sad that it had ended, but we were contented that we had enjoyed ourselves over the past three days on the island.

Bye Bye, Langkawi!

As the flight would stop by Penang first before transiting back to Singapore, we soon landed at the Penang International Airport.

After the passengers heading for Penang got off the plane and with the staff busying themselves with their tasks, I brought Darius for a short walk on the plane to stretch his limbs.

Not before long, a new group of passengers boarded the plane and off we flew towards Singapore!

Both Catherine and Darius were too tired and fell asleep soon after the take-off. Darius actually fell asleep halfway through playing with his toy phone. ^^

Catherine was awoken when the in-flight meal came in. With Darius sleeping in her arms, she found it difficult to have her meal but still managed to do it in the end.

At slightly past 5pm, we finally landed at Changi Airport and off we went straight back home for a good rest! ^^

Back in Singapore again!
