In Taiwan (Part 4)

28 December 2008 --- Another early day. We woke up at around 7am, changed then had our breakfast at the hotel.

But before continuing further, let's have 2 shots of the view outside from our hotel room.

After breakfast we took the train to the bus area to catch a bus to our next destination, Kenting.

Sarah had something back in the North so she went back to Taipei while the three of us proceeded on.

It was a long bus ride of 4 hours to Kenting. On the way it was rather boring so I had my mp3 on and took random shots of the scenery.

i love the way the clouds look

Pingtung police station

Upon reaching Kenting, we roamed the stretch of road as we decided which place to have our lunch in.

Well, before we found a place we spotted something. Hehe... Let's scroll and see what it is.

the shops lining along Kenting

can you spot who is in there?

i guess this is so much clearer. hehe... see the lady in grey? that's our ever pretty... ELLA!!!

the restaurant where Ella's photo was found

After lunch, we walked to a nearby beach and took some photos.

too bad I didn’t bring additional clothing, if not I would have taken a ride on that


Then we bought souvenirs and local products from Kenting before we took a bus at 3pm back to Kaohsiung. Since it was another four hours back I slept on the bus while listening to my mp3.

After we reached Kaohsiung at around 6pm or so, we immediately rushed to our hotel to get our luggages so that we could catch the bus from Kaohsiung to Puli which was near Taichung.

When we reached the bus station to buy the tickets the person said that we would have to wait until 7:30pm for the direct bus to Puli, if we were to take the earlier one we would have to change buses. So we decided to take the later one and went for dinner while waiting.

After dinner we went back to the bus station and waited for the bus to arrive. At 7:30pm sharp the bus arrived, we loaded our luggage into the baggage area then sat comfortably in the bus for the long ride. Once we got on the bus, I plugged in my mp3 and listened to the music as the driver drove us off. Somewhere along the journey I fell asleep, when I woke up it was raining outside.

I watched a bit of the TV programme which was playing in the car before I dozed off again. On and off I messaged Sarah to arrange meeting time with her and also on where to go when I get back to Taipei the next day. Somewhere around 10pm I was fully awake. I sat in my seat, listened to the music and watched as it rained outside.

At 12am, we finally reached our destination, Puli. Luckily the room was booked by a friend of Jowyn's friend and the landlady was nice enough to wait up for us. We immediately check-in and settled down, took our showers and turn in.

Our next day adventure will be coming up soon!

P.S. I decided to finish all the blog entries of my very first trip out of the country. Although it was like more than half a year back but still have that it is enjoying enough to follow my trip to Taiwan =)
