Mummy! we have to find the water monitor/Mor! vi skal finde vand varanen

Up early and landed at Langkawi international at 11.50 am. Then on to Pelangi Beach (or rather "Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort and Spa) - some of you may have heard that we were not happy campers on our last visit 2 years ago. Well, lured by promises of a better meritus club and better rooms we returned. The Club was lovely, the room was just as bad as last. This time I got them to move us to another suite - slightly smaller but not as run down. The staff were as usual very willing to help - sometimes though it felt like it was a case of the body being willing but the mind being weak. Be nice, Bea!

Our best reason for staying was "Mummy, we have to find the water monitor". Lionardo remembered seeing the water monitor on our last visit and could not wait to walk around the lakes looking for the little beast and the cats - lets not forget the cats :-). Yes we found the water monitor -  a sweet little beastie.

Vi var op tidligt og ankom på Langkawi kl. 11.50. Derefter direkte til Meritus Pelangi Beach Resort og Spa. Vi var ikke særlig glad på vores sidste besøg (2 år siden), men vi blev lokket af løfter om forbedringer. Ganske rigtig var Meritus Klub blev fornyet men værelset var lige så dårligt som sidste gang. Denne gang fik jeg suiten byttet med en anden suite, som er lidt mindre men i bedre stand. Personalen var som utrolig villig til at hjælp, desværre virkede det tit som om kroppen var villig men hjernen var sløv. Vær søde, Bea!

Vores bedste grund for at blive var "Mor! vi skal finde vand varanen". Lionardo kunne huske vand varanen fra vores sidste besøg og kunne næsten ikke vente på at jagte/finde bæstet - man må heller ikke glemme kattene :-). Ja vi fandt vand varanen - et søde lille bæst.

Finally we see the beastie - that tiny thing on the rock; Endelig fik vi øje på bæstet - den lille tingsten på stenen

Dinner on the varanda - chilli mud crabs, deep-fried squid, deep-fried soft shelled crabs, fried grouper topped with spicy/sweet sauce, kailan fried with garlic... yes a little rice and chinese fried noodles too.
Aftensmad på varandaen - ferskvands krabber i chilli, friture stegt blæksprutte ringe, friture stegt bløde skallede krabber, stegt koralbarser i kryderet/søde dressing, kinesisk grønt stegt med hvidløg...og lidt hvide ris samt stegt nudler.
