IF YOU are looking for a romantic beach vacation in an area of natural, unspoiled beauty, Langkawi could be the place.
Langkawi {meaning reddish brown eagle} is a cluster of 99 islands off the mainland of Malaysia. Only 4 of the islands are inhabited. Traditionally thought to be cursed, in 1986 the Prime Minister decided to transform it into a tourist resort area.
It was a lovely place to take in the gorgeous views and beaches, with the feel of a completely authentic Malay experience ~ not built up like a typical tourist area.
Of course I had to pick up a memento and this is what I got...
...some traditional handcarved wooden sandals {perhaps not the most comfortable shoes I own, but they'll look cute displayed in a shadow box}.
Next stop: Phuket, Thailand

Looks like paradise! Perfect souvenir for you shoes even if just for display!
Looks unspoilt! How pretty. Those shoes are gorgeous...even if you never wear them, what a momento!!
Wow, Lisa! I'm so glad you're showing us all these awesome places. What a great idea the PM had to use this beautiful space for the rest of the world to see. Enjoy. Looking forward to seeing Phuket tomorrow.
Absolute paradise! I could really use a trip like this one!
Your travels are making me want to get out of a very rainy Vancouver stat! This place really does look incredible.
I'd love to go today! Love to do a swap for a giveaway of one of your pretty bags or small items!
let me know- happy 2012~
