Sailing away

Yesterday we went for a 6 hour afternoon and sunset cruise and spent the day drifting among the 99 islands of the Langkawi archipelago. We appreciated the fact that we were taken to secluded areas away from the tourist hot spots, for hours we were the only boat around except for a few local fishermen.

The drinks were freely flowing all day long and the freshly cooked food was delicious. After a few hours of cruising we jumped from the yacht into the water and swam to the uninhabited beach in the middle of nowhere! Instead of exploring the beach as some of the other passengers did, we just stayed in the water, holding each other and drinking champagne. It's cool to feel rich for a day!

After this "exhausting" adventure we got back to the yacht and while Eva (our captain) and her staff were cooking dinner for us, we were laying on the cushions on the deck relaxing and enjoying the stunning scenery.

The dinner was served at sunset and we were still amazingly enough the only boat around. It was quiet and peaceful, the wind was cooling us off while we were eating dinner and enjoying the breathtaking view.
