Boat Ride

Yesterday we took a 4 hour boat ride. Langkawi has 99 islands and we visited 3 on the boat. The first one was crazy because you get off the boat and monkeys are there to greet you. The aren't scared of humans and they want your food. Then you hike a bit into the mountain to a fresh water lake in the middle of the Andaman Sea. It's incredible. There are docks that you swim off of. We had a great time. We were with a lot of our American friends so we played games in the water and what not.
Next we went to a cove where the driver throws chicken meat into the water and eagles swoop down and get the meat. The boat driver said there are about 150 eagles on that island.
The last part of our trip was our favorite. It was just the 12 of us on a small beach on the most amazing water you've seen. We ate lunch there and just hung out in the crystal blue water. It was glorious!
