Great breakfast at the hotel. Peaceful sleep last night. Although there are lots of hotel and hostel options I am enjoying the peacefulness of this hotel in a park like location and next to the ocean.
Rode my bike to and up the 4km hill to the Kenting National Forest Recreation Area. Lots of monkeys everywhere in the park…and did I tell you they are the only live thing I am afraid of in the country. . When you get to the top there is a fee to enter and enjoy all the beautiful walking trails.
Some of the sights are Caves, Gardens, a lovely greenhouse, Giant Maple, Weeping fig and on and on. It was quite nice. And of course the 4km back to town was enjoyable.
Joined a leisurely bus group heading to the National Aquarium (the aquarium had a ticket price of 450 NTD). It reminded me very much of the aquarium that I recently went to in San Francisco. Our trip also made stops at Guanshan and Moobitu.
Expenses so far today Hotel around $33..ate enough breakfast to carry me through for lunch. Entrance to the park $3 Afternoon bus tour with visit to the national aquarium, a visit to another seaside site with more interesting rock formations and a trip to the highest point in the area – for sunset (gut there was no sunset) $25. Steamed dumplings at the aquarium $2.00 Total $63…another budget breaking day
