Stuck In Langkawi

Well here I am stuck in Langkawi!!
I was meant to leave Wed but met up with a Danish Couple, Morten & Signe, and a German fella, Peter, who a doing the Iron Man triathalon. 3.8k swim,180.2k bike,40.8k run!!! Bloody mad. So the convinced me to stay in Kuah and come watch. So poor Peter has let me share his hotel for free. He and Morten are in the pro league so they get a pretty good deal... We'll peter more so.
Signe and I are volunteers on race day. I have a pass, T shirt and all. I get to write the numbers on all the guys legs and arms....Oh poor me. We also are on the finishing line numbering all the guys and gals as they come over the line.(9hrs plus later mind you)
So Monday I am off to the east coast definitely!!!

Today I feel a little home sick. I want "normal" food and to talk to shop owners who can understand you and not rip you off. AHHH I tell you!!! Yesterday I was about to have firstly cuffs with a taksi driver cause he wanted to charge us originally RM 20 to Kuah but when he saw we had a few bags he wanted to charge us RM 30 !!! Signe and I were furious 2 people in a taxi not 4 (the boys rode to Kuah) what difference is the baggage going to make. Finally I found someone to take us for 25. The other fella kept coming up to our new taksi driver a telling him to charge us more... Me not happy!! RRRRrrrr I was telling him not so nicely to Piss off.

I'm working on my tan tho.Not on purpose...Lots of sunscreen I promise... I'm practically the same colour as the locals.

I hired a Motorbike and drove around the Island!!!! I can drive a manual....Now. Dave had already left for Thailand so it was just me. I had so much fun it was a little 100cc and there's no speed limit so i zoomed around the back roads...I'm so ready for a big bike. I had a little visit to Langkawi hospital too. Peter was walking and fell down a 2 meter drop in the foot path. He's broken his rib, gave his hip a good wack and it's all black as well as tearing half the skin off his shin...so lucky I had the bike. He's got stitches in his leg and sore all over. He's still doing the race tho.
If I fell down the hole I'd still be there!! Morten, Signe and Peter are all 6 foot plus. I look like a munchkin!
Any hoo better get going.
Take care and you'll hear from me soon.
Love Lizzy
