Telaga Tujuh Waterfall

Afternoon, we rode our rented bike towards west side of Langkawi.

Destination: Telaga Tujuh waterfall and Cable car.

On our way there, we stopped by this yatch dock. Majority of them belong to foreigners, at least i would like to think that way, so that i won't be too green with envy..haha.

One day......

Oh, and there's suppose to be a bread shop owned by our Tun Dr. Mahathir somewhere around that shop housing area.

.....

Arrived at the cable car Village. A few duty free shops, souveneir shops, makan shops.

Looking forward towards the Langkawi suspension bridge at the top of the hill.

Told that due to the bad weather service was temporarily shut down.

Ya, like they were taking precaution over the bridge getting too slippery and some1 might jz slip and fall down the hill :_l

Arrived at Telaga Tujuh waterfall.

We decided to take a different route and explore the jungle 1st before coming to the waterfall.

It was after 4pm as we climbed our way up the jungle. The weather was gloomy.it was drizzling and at times it could be quite dark in there.

The fact that no 1 else was there besides us didnt help.

There were a total of  3 camp sites along the way to the top.This was the 2nd one.

It looked empty and deserted.

Still no signs of any1...

This was the last "human-friendly" road sign we met before we continued climbing what must have been eternity. The peak was no where to be seen. No more road signs along the way

....we were on our own..

Already 5.30pm,it was dark, and raining.

Neyney was getting restless, though she was still fit as a bull.

It would require another 1 hour to make our way down.

Camping in the forest for the night didnt sound feasible, at least on our honeymoon..

We were still the only Tarzan and Jane there...

Stopped by 1 of the streams on our way down.

The water was clean (how did i know that?) and chilly..

There was actually another picture of tarzan (that's me) drinking water like he was devouring something.

Nearly there..

Still no sign of anybody.

And here is the top of the waterfall. See that cliff over there?

I'm standing next to 1 of the 7 wells that forms the waterfall beyond this cliff. Hence the name Telaga Tujuh ie 7 Wells waterfall.

We took a side track down to see the waterfall and guess what

....i ran out of battery.

It was great by the way. All rocky and slippery though.

Tried to bath at the bottom of the torrentous waterfall and could have been swept away and gotten myself killed.

Karling hugged me tight and told me not to do anything stupid like that again.

Anyway, NEVER underestimate the forces Mother Nature.

Last dinner in Langkawi.

Its tasty succulent butter crab.But i spent more time peeling than eating it.

Neyney was like a pro...

Tomorrow!...Island Hopping~~
