I didn't actually stay in Kenting but in a small town called Hengchun a few miles to the north. With the exception of two others the accommodation was empty. That was enough other people to get the bus down to Kenting. We got talking to a group of 3 from Finland and ended up going out for something to eat.
We also got mobbed by loads of local school kids wanting to practice their English while waiting at the bus stop to come back.
Not hired a bike for sometime so that was the first thing I wanted to do. There was no deposit/passport as security or even asking where I was staying which was a bit strange. Just a "here's your bike" and that was it......very trusting people.
The other went by motorbike (which I can't ride) I was meant to meet them at a waterfall but missed it because it was badly signposted. The views round the coast were great. Nearly hit a snake going round.
Went out again on the bike the following day, somehow passed the aquarium at the hottest part of the day and had a good few hours inside. The other two went out again and taken a close up photo of a snake that turned out to be deadly!!!!
On the last but one night we went down to Kenting again for a few beers. Got a load of cans and drank them on the beach as it costs a lot in the bars. Got talking to a group of locals and had a good night. Then someone got a load of fireworks that were about a tenth of the cost of back home.
We must have let dozens off on the beach before noticing the "NO FIREWORKS ON BEACH" sign.......alcohol and fireworks is not ta good combination.....No harm was done however.
Had a rest day before heading north.........................
