"Langkawi Day 3 ~ Underwater World, Finale"

Woke up, packed, say goodbye to Hotel Helang, flight back was at 3PM. So, not really any plan for the day. We decided to give the 3rd Geoforest Park (Tasik Dayang Bunting) a miss due to not wanting to cramp so much into the holiday.

Ah, the classic rented car, PDB712. Outside looks still ok, but inside... the seat is so hard to adjust, and no power steering :-S

Went to Breakfast Bar in Pantai Cenang (we always go there since it's near to the airport) for some light breakfast. The Underwater World attraction was nearby so we dropped by for a look (check price first!). It was RM25 per person (again, MyKad) so ok, lets just go there and see-see. They've actually renovated the place and now includes new attractions such as....

Penguins.. two diff types. I managed to catch a seal show too. Upload the video later (they kept moving, hard to snap!). And more random shots...

They also have a 3D cinema where u need to wear the glasses. The show was pretty short and the system maybe needs some tuning coz the effect didn't really work well..

Ah, the most interesting one... the jelly fish! Against the blue backdrop, it looks alien-like... There's no mouth that I can see, what does it eat?? And another weird one, looks like a seahorse, but also looks like a piece of seaweed...

:-S

Overall Underwater World is decent enough that we spent about 2 hours there. Then still got time and petrol (return it empty!), so we drove around...

That's it, holiday over! So, when's the next one? :D
