Legends and roundabouts

On our last day in Langkawi, we went to Taman Lagenda. It's supposed to present all the legends of Langkawi in a park. But...it wasn't really well done, and we just walked around in a rather dirty (and ugly :s ) park, wondering what we were doing there. In some places there were stones with plaques describing the legends...but they were so faded that we couldn't read the words properly. I'll just post a few of the more interesting pieces.

the map of Langkawi

the layout of the park

not sure what this is...

Ayer Hangat

Kuah and Belanga Pecah ("gravy" and "broken bowl/urn")
Maybe that's the legend that gave Kuah town its name...but there was no information there.

 And then...there were lots of other stuff but I kind of gave up on understanding the legends.

the is Garuda and Jentayu, though I've no idea what's the story behind it...

This one is quite funny...a recreation of the black sand beach (I wrote about it in this post)

 There was quite a large area of the park dedicated to Mahsuri (I wrote about her tomb here)

This is Pandak Mayah's spear (Pandak Mayah is Mahsuri's father, and supposedly only his spear could kill Mahsuri...or was it his keris? Anyway, that's the legend...)

the eagle can be seen from the park

To end the Langkawi posts, here are two rather pretty roundabouts that we came across while driving around the island.

That's all folks!
