Sand, Sand, Sand

Last night I got chatting to another amazing person in our group. He has been involved in setting up arts projects for people in cities...outdoor sculpture, music and art from around the world etc.. He had a wonderful attitude to life and work.

All of this to the sound of lapping waves (my bedtime relaxation noise) and having sand in your toes!

Today we took a speed boat to a secluded freshwater lake just off one of the smaller islands. It was simply stunning, surrounded by forest and inhabitated by monkey or two and beautiful birds.

I could not wait to remove my clothes and jump in! The water felt so comforting, warm, a perfect tonic...

After an hour, a few of us got together and hired a banana boat ride around the lake...I don't think I have screamed so much in ages! We fell off (of course) but is that not the point?

The rest of the morning we saw eagles being fed and took the speed boat to a smaller island to explore, swim and think. Today has been a wonderful opportunity to think, even at this moment, writing is usually a great luxury and yet there is no restrictions on my time, no watch and no concerns beyond what to eat and how much sunscreen I need .... A hard life isn't it?

After a great lunch of black pepper chicken and rice, I took a cable car to Langkawi's best viewing point.

Tonight we are going to have some great food and drinks and watch the sunset...this is perfect! At times I feel I am lost for words...
