Kending

After a delightful weekend in the country staying in a house that had wooden floors, cielings walls and funriture, we headed down to the Kending area of Taiwans southern peninsula. We stayed in a really nice hotel which came with a free 125cc scooter and a balcony. We went to a beach about a 20min drive from the hotel for some poonage and swimming. I was shocked how unbelievably warm the sea was. I have never experienced it in my life!!! Its the perfect temperature, not too hot, and not too cold, just right, I swam around like a downy baby seal. The whole area is a national park and is stunning. we buzzed it up the mountains on the ped and had a walk around what can only be described as the jungle!!!! So many wierd insects and birds. It was scorching hot though and we were forced to retreat due to lack of h2o. It was interesting though. There was a lively night market each night along the main road selling beachy things and food and general nightmarket wonders. Last night didnt get much sleep cos we were invaded by loads of 'stinky bugs'. They smell if u try and kill them, so i spent the night trying to seal the doors with towls and liguid alcohol gel. We got a ride to the marine biodiversity and aquarium centre for taiwan just up the coast from kending. It was amazing and very well done. I havent ben to an aquarium for probably over 10 years so it was great to see the fish and stuff. I bought a little patrick from spongebob in taipei, so brought him to the aquarium to feel at home for a bit. :) We are now still in the south but staying in taiwans second biggest city called Kaosiung.The house is in a very flash tower block, with marble floors, a communal swimming pool that is so nice at night and a billiard room with american pool table. Today we went on a day trip to Tainan. It is renowned as the food capital of Taiwan so we tried some interesting and tasty new foods. we also visited the oldest confucianism temple in Tawan and an old fort that was over 400 years old. I ate some of the nicest douhua ever and also got pearl milk tea from the first place it was created!!!! Tasty. Over and out.
