Day 61: Kuah to Cenang Beach

Finally we’ve found some beaches

​Today was a big cheat on a ferry, but not without its troubles. We’d decided to catch a ferry from Penang to Langkawi island, but the ferry operator’s website said there was no 8:30 am sailing today. Was it because of Chinese New Year? There was no way to know. 

We decided to head down to the ferry office for 7:00 am and see what the news was. ​

When we arrived it was still dark, but the office was open and the ferry was running- but it was full. ​

Heading to the ferry office

We put ourselves on the standby list and headed off for a coffee. At 8:00am there was still no news and it was not looking good, but then at 8:25am they said we’re on, but we had to hurry. ​

We got over​ to the dock, unloaded our bags and then the bikes were strapped to the foredeck. 

Then we sat in a small tin box doing over 30 knots for two and a half hours at about 14°C. But, we got there. 

Now it’s all beautiful beaches and no expressways in site. Perfect.
