27 A Trip to Kenting

In spite of the oncoming typhoon, May and I still went on our trip to Kenting.

We rented a scooter as soon as we arrived and began our exciting adventure.

Our first stop was Sheding Park, a wild nature park.

We took a walk on the trails and spotted many goats.

We were so thrilled that we decided to follow them.

It wasn't long before we realized we had gotten lost.

It took us hours to get out of the woods.   

On the way back to our hostel, I was so taken with the lovely scene that I crashed into a fence.

Fortunately, May and I were not injured.

The next day, we went to the beach for a swim.

The sea was so rough, we almost drowned.

Despite all that had happened, our trip was really an unforgettable adventure.
