It's the final countdown

After being on the road for 62 days, visiting 6 city's in 4 countries it's now time to travel back home to Europe and Stockholm.

Top 4 things we will miss when back in Stockholm (in no particular order)

• Restaurant prices - there is no problem going from starving to full for 8 SEK (3 PLN).
• Laundry service - so cheap you almost feel ashamed when paying.
• Service minded and genuinely nice Malaysian people.
• Freshly squeezed orange juice - from 5 SEK (2 PLN) a glass.

Top 4 things we now love about Sweden (in no particular order)

• Drinkable tap water.
• Right-side traffic without the jams.
• Fast Internet connection.
• Tunnbrödrulle

Top 4 things we won't miss about Malaysia (in no particular order)

• Being followed around in stores by sales clerks
• The traffic jams
• The lizards
• The Absolute Music 5 CD (or whatever was hot 25 years ago) that all stores insists on repeating over and over again.
  

Most useless thing we packed
Socks. Last time we wore socks it was still January.

Best restaurant we found in Malaysia
La Sal at Pantai Cenang, Langkawi. We have been there 3 times and between the two of us we must have tried half of the dishes on the menu. So it feels safe to say that you can't go wrong at this place. Don't miss out on the drinks either!

BBQ very nice!

Today we called our baby-sitter again. We haven't used her service since we got married even though baby-sitting is THE greatest invention since sliced bread. Knowing that Nelly was in safe hands we jumped in our car and drove west to Pantai Cenang. After a slow hand in hand stroll along the waterfront we found a nice place called La Sal where we ate the best god damn appetizer since we arrived to Malaysia: kataifi prawns.



The sunset played the role of dinner entertainment, the atmosphere was really quiet just what we were looking for.









In the water right in front of the restaurant they had an under water fence that blocked... well naturally we thought it was there to block sharks. But when I asked the waiter if they had problems with sharks he answered "No problem, shark barbecue very nice". So there you go, maybe we should stop worrying about sharks, the locals sure did long time ago.

Oh, and the fence was there to keep Jet-Skis away :-)

After dinner we slow danced on the beach to "Just the two of us" by Grover Washington Jr.

Meanwhile back in the apartment Nelly was playing hide-n-seek with the baby-sitter.

The Life Aquatic

Yesterday we took the car to Underwater World Langkawi located right in the middle of the tourist delta Pantai Cenang. It's about a 30 minute ride from our place. It was fun to see real live versions of everything from our Finding Nemo DVD. My favorite character the seagulls were not present, but then on the other hand, if Nelly could speak she would fill that void in a second going "Mine, mine, mine" all the time.
