Another day jus zoomed past me again. Its so fast and its the end of Day 8 of our Taiwan pre-school round Taiwan trip. We are still at our 5th stop Kaohsiung. ITs the 3rd n last full day we are staying here. Started the morning early when we got up at 830am to prepare n pack our stuff to head towards the southern most part of Taiwan, Kenting Beach.
Took a catered cab service ride to Kenting and the journey was bout 1 hr 45 mins. Good thing we bought abit of snacks n food to eat on the way there as our breakfast cum lunch heh. The taxi driver recommended a water sports shop we can visit over there at a discounted rate. Each of us paid bout 20 sing dollars for snorkeling, speed boating and banana boating. First time doin snorkeling for me and its realli enjoyable n relaxgin seeing the fishes swimming in their natural habitat. THe whole area there is actualli a national protected reserve area, so it was pretty untouched and natural.
AFter snorkeling, we did bout 3 rounds of banana boating which left us feeling pumped up and reeling in the excitement. Although I did banana boating b4, the thrill n high speed adrenalin is still quite enjoyable heh. Wanted to do wakeboarding or windsurfing but they do not have those sports there. Wat a pity. BUt at least i tried my first experience in snorkeling so not totally a wasted trip.
Towards the late afternoon, we walked n shopped around the Kenting Street Town. Lotsa nice souvenirs and beachwear. Soon after a early dinner we headed back to KAohsiung for more night market shopping n walking around the city area. Overall a memorable first visit to Kenting and enjoyable Thursday in southern Taiwan. K need to go pack my stuff soon, cos tmr we are leaving for Taitung le. Taitung here we come!!!! :)
