'Walk' may be pushing it a bit, but my wonderful boyfriend did travel 10,000+ miles to come and visit me this past week! From Tampa, Florida all the way to Singapore and then on to Langkawi together. Our time in Singapore was spent doing the classic "touristy" things like visiting the Aquarium which we had done before, but was one of Steve's favorites so we went again. We did the famous Singapore Night Safari which was FAB! I'm definitely not an avid zoo-goer, but this was quite spectacular...we were there for about an hour and managed to see every animal...definitely worth the visit if you have the chance! (50% this month for any Singapore Residents reading this!) On Monday we flew to Langkawi and spent the next few days relaxing by the beach and pool together. We stayed at the Vivanta by Taj on Rebak Island. It was a nice hotel located on its own island - 5 minutes away by boat from Langkawi. I wouldn't rush back, however it was good value for money and it perhaps just needs a few extra touches to make it that much better. Our first full day we went to the famous Sky Bridge - a bridge suspended over a mountain side...definitely not everyone's cup of tea! The journey to the bridge was by taking one of the steepest cable car journey's in the world...again, not everyones cup of tea lol, but fun if you aren't afraid of heights! It was a great day, albeit extremely hot... The rest of our day was spent walking up and down the strip of the main beach where we dipped in and out of shops and killed some time before having dinner at a lovely restaurant on the coast. 'The Cliff' was the name of the restaurant (if you ever visit Langkawi, it is located right underneath the massive "Langkawi" sign on the mountain side) recommended to us by a family friend. Our food was fantastic and relatively affordable for the location and quality. Wednesday, our last full day, we spent lying by the pool for the majority of the day soaking up the sun. We had planned to go scuba diving off the main land, however the scuba company was unfortunately fully booked for the rest of the week...our fault for not calling or planning ahead! Anyway, we were able to get some R&R by the pool before heading back onto the mainland for some lunch/dinner. Again, we ate and returned home at a (much too) reasonable hour lol. In typical 20+ year-old fashion (NOT), we fell asleep before 10pm...knowing we had to be awake for our early flight back to Singapore in the morning.
Steve's last full day was Saturday and I was still bed-ridden with the cold...luckily we still got to spend time with each other which was great after being apart for over 2 months. We spent the day watching movies, getting bagels and just enjoying each others company...albeit with a floor full of tissues (glamorous, I know...). Steve left very early on Sunday morning and we said our goodbye's...he's now safely back in Tampa where we we will reunited once again in a months time..yippee! Great week with great company :) <3
