Kenting holiday!

Two weeks ago Martin and I took a few days off work and headed down to Kenting for a 5 day long-weekend (our first proper holiday since returning from home last June!). We had the most wonderful time just relaxing and reading books and eating nice food!

We'd booked a nice hotel before we arrived, but quickly had to rearrange that plan.... as soon as we got to it we realised we'd run into a little problem. On either side of the hotel was some very annoying, very loud construction work!!! Although the hotel owners tried to convince us that they would stop over the weekend, we weren't convinced and managed to bargain our way out of there. We found a smaller and cheaper hotel, which suited us just fine!!

Most days we just lounged around on the beaches or spent time driving along the coastline on our hired scooter seeing the sights. We spent quite a few hours sampling the excellent Thai and Indian cuisine on offer, often followed with a bit of Turkish ice cream for pudding!


Noisy neighboring construction work drives us away.


Martin's smile disguises the frustration he's feeling!


The view we left behind when moving hotel.

Sticks and sand.


A wierd four-legged monster passed us on the beach...


Leaping with joy :)


The spider in his lair.... (too lazy to catch anything this afternoon)


Warung Didi - a funky Thai restaurant we frequented this holiday.


At "Sail Rock" - along the coastline south of Kenting.


Well..... it's called 'Kissing Rock' ok???


I am the monster that lurks in the cave.


Martin in Eluanbi park.


I'm just part of the foliage.


Cheesy boy with the lighthouse.


Wow! Its the southern most tip of Taiwan!


Martin and his cool new helmet are ready for the off....


On the east coast now - and its rather windy!!!


We found this cool old suspension bridge along the way.


Taiwan Martin and the hill we couldn't find.


Martin gets bored and starts to play...


Yay for being on holiday!


Our last day, and we stop for a game of Scrabble on the beach.


Lovely sunset.


I think the bus home freaked him out a little...
