I am not in a hurry today, but if I do not leave early,Before leaving the town, I will be surrounded by a motorbike corps.
I thought so, so I left the hotel early.
0614
The autobike began gathering little by little.
0635
It's almost like a race.
I was surrounded by motorcycles, and motorcycles pass by,
And at the location of the next traffic light,
and I will be also surrounded again.
0637
Now is morning of November 5, temperature is 23 degrees.
I am sweating already.
0637
I run while being surrounded by many motorcycles like this. Soon I will leave the group and run alone. And at the location of the next traffic light,And again, I will soon be surrounded by many motorcycles.I repeatedly had to do such a thing until I left Kaohsiung City.
0714
I found a convenience store.
This is my second breakfast today.

I ate a sandwich or something in the hotel before leaving, but it is breakfast again.
I eat about five meals a day. Still it is short of calories.
Riding a bicycle requires a lot of calories.
Bicycle is perfect for a diet.
0715
Every convenience store has places to eat and is convenient.
I bought food, sit down in the seat near the window, eat, throw away unnecessary garbage, then move on.
It is good that you do not have to carry garbage.
0718
I drunk milk well. I think I drank 1 liter each day.
0754
I felt Taiwan had many long bridges.
0806
The palm tree and the bin trees are similar, but which one is this tree?
0834
I saw selling food called a rhombus at the roadside.
As shown in the figure, it is written that it is a fruit shaped like a bat like a Batman, and it has a chestnut-like taste.
0920
I am running in this style.
I do not seem to have any luggage, but it is not.
There is a bag on the rear carrier and a big rucksack on the front carrier.
I decided to do not carry a bag on my back when I ride a bicycle.

Just placing a backpack on my back it will put a burden on my back and There is no doubt that it will get hot and further I have to take off my backpack every time I put something out of the backpack.
It is troublesome.

Then, if you think about the front bag. The capacity of the commercial front bag is small. Since it is difficult to carry a commercial front bag, it can not be brought into the store. So I fixed the rucksack on the front carrier and used it as a front bag.
0959
A straight road will follow for Hengchun.
1022
Because it is such a road, I can give speed as much as I can, but I do not feel like that.
1035
I can see the 小尖山 of 車城.
1036
車城の小尖山
1039
I can see the town of Hengchun.
One of two Saturdays during the trip, today is that Saturday.
Is the hotel available?. I asked.
Although it was available, it was 1,000 yuan. I do not know whether it was Saturday price or because it was a good room.
Anyway, I make an appointment for tonight, deposit my luggage, and head for Kenting more south.
1253
I pass the town of Kenting and run south further.
1307
Kenting's Primitive Forest Control Area. Is it a campground?
1338
I ran south further, stopped bicycling to the southernmost parking lot,
I got off the hill 200 meters from the parking lot, and then walked another 500 meters.
1339
I walked about this brick road for about 500 meters.
1342
The southernmost observatory.
1343
1359
I will return to Hengchun.
This is mountain peak of Kenting,
大尖山.
1429
Is this tree a palm tree or a pillow tree?
1445
I came back to Hengchun.
1455
South Gate of Hengchun
1649
The hotel that I will stay in tonight is called 龍徳. 1000 yuan. It will surely be a holiday price.
