It was a bit of a task getting down to Kaohsiung as the railway lines were blocked by landslides so I somehow got there half by bus. Spent 45 minutes walking through the heat and humidity only to discover that when I got to the hostel that an underground rail system had been build since my guidebook was published!!!!!
On the first full day I headed out with a girl from Hungary into a wooded area on a hill. Despite being in the middle of the city we somehow got lost for about 2 hours. When we did get the top the view could only be described as ugly and industrial. On the way back down we seen what I thought was a snake but turned out to be a massive worm.
Later that afternoon we finally found what we went to see which was Lotus lake. Went to the top of the Dragon and Tiger pagodas.
On the second full day we went to Cijin island which was a lot closer to the hostel. Went to a lighthouse on top of a big hill and sampled some very strange foods off a local fish market.
The sunlight was a bit bright on this picture !!!!!!!!!
After two days of solid walking I had a rest day talking to the others in the hostel then headed to Kenting on the south tip of Taiwan.
