Langkawi


From Penang we caught the ferry to another island, Langkawi, further north. The main attraction here is that it's a duty free island, so the hefty taxes levied on alcohol in the rest of Malaysia thankfully don't apply here. The rainy weather precluded much activity, but we did while away some time at the local aquarium.

This is a leafy sea dragon, and I've never seen anything quite like it. It's like a cross between a seahorse and a strand of seaweed.
