Kenting Extravaganza Day Three

Two people had work on Sunday morning, so they left on Saturday night, leaving just 8 of us to play on the last day. Throughout the weekend, we had attempted to make the most of the days by pushing through, regardless of how tired we were. Well, on Sunday morning, it all fell apart. The five of us that set alarms slept through them. We finally woke up at 10:30am, got food, and called the driver so we could go to the National Park and Forest.

This part was fun, but I think the majority of us were worn out, so it was more relaxing and enjoyable than say, exciting and unforgettable. We spent about 2 hours there, got our bags, and took a 3:30pm bus back to Kaohsiung so we wouldn't arrive in Taipei too late. So in total, we had 2 full days and a half-day in Kenting.

Swamp?

Plank tree (because of the plank-like trunk/roots)

"Stalactite Explanation Board"

We thought we were going into a Fairy Cave, so we gave ourselves names. I was Thumbelina, Sara was the green fairy, Lesley was Tinkerbell, and Michael was the fairy godmother.

Artificial lights in the cave enhanced the experience.

The greenhouse had poinsettias!

The best part about coming home from a weekend at the beach is the tan. Sun-kissed MUAH!
