Trip to Kenting (Day1)

Last week, Craig's parents rented a car and drove all the way to the very south of Taiwan to a place called Kenting. Craig looked comfy and happy in his seat in the back.


The car was a tiny 1500cc Toyota Vios. It was just the right size for a family of three.


Australians will know the logo we saw on this billboard beside the freeway just outside of Taipei.


Craig became bored during the trip and seemed to like it when his parents put him in his pram for a walk around one of the freeway rest areas.


When they arrived at the Yoho Landis Beach Club they found that the room had two king-size beds. One for Craig and one for his parents!


The first thing they did was go for a walk around to see what there was to see. Craig's Mum and Dad played chess using the big outdoor pieces but they didn't finish the game.


There were shops as well but Craig liked Snoopy better.


Dinner was a very expensive buffet. Luckily it didn't cost anything for Craig to sit there in his pram and watch his parents eat.


After a bath, Craig was in a good mood and had plenty of fun playing with his Dad on his huge bed.

Looks inviting. I'm tempted to buy a car. I need to get out of this city.

Yeah, when we first planned the trip we were going to take the High Speed Rail and have the hotel pick us up. But, when we worked out the prices for a 4-day trip hiring a car was about the same.

If you have plenty of chances to get out of town a car gives you the freedom to roam.
