澎湖

Heey!

We had a Rotary trip to Penghu on 9.-11. It was so much fun!
Our flight was at 8am and we were there maybe at 9? And oh yea Penghu is the biggest island of Taiwan haha if anyone didn't know. It has uh I think it was 5 main islands and all together 90 islands. We stayed in the only city Magong.

Day 1
Fishing! We went to Cobia aquarium to try out fishing stuff. I don't know how to call it but it was cool. First we tried to catch squids and some small shark kind of things. (Actually we were just feeding them and playing around because there was no hooks haha) The funny thing about squid is that when you try to pull it up it spurts water on you :DD We got to hold pufferfish on our hands and some other creepy creatures. We also grilled oysters there. Then we went to a different place to try fishing only with haands so scary! We got rubber boots, gloves and buckets. I caught one pufferfish but unfortunately it puffed itself haha. There was also crabs, sea cucumbers, sea slugs and lot's of other yacky stuff. Luckily we didn't have seafood but barbeque instead for dinner yay!












Day 2
BEACH! Hah the most anticipated part of the trip. We took a boat to Jibei island where is the biggest beach and possibilities to do lot's of amazing stuff. I was so afraid of getting sunburn that I didn't swim or play around with different boat thingys. Everyone who waned also had chance to go snorkeling. I mostly just took some photos, sat in the shade and ate ice cream haha. We spent almost the whole day on the beach and after that returned to our hotel to eat dinner. We had some free time to walk around the city after that and yeah our daily curfew was 10pm. No going out after that.







Day 3
In the morning our schedule was postponed because we had a lecture about the rules. Ehh not going to say anything but some people got caught of not following the rules the night before soooo. After that we had this normal tourist sightseeing tour. We walked the first half and saw Four-eyed well and some other spots.Then we had steak for lunch and continued out tour by bus. We visited Jhungtung windmill park, The great banyan tree (which seriously is only one huge tree), we ate cactus ice cream, cross sea bridge, Zhu Wan Da Yi temple and Erkan ancient village. And we visited also some local stores selling local food. Yay. At the airport we had McDonald's for dinner but SOMEONE TOOK MY HAMBURGER. So yea. And during the flight there was a storm and lightnings. No funny.




























It was a great trip and Penghu is really nice place if you like fish. Someone asked me how the trip was like and I answered "Fishy" haha. I didn't spend money at all yaay! I didn't even find postcards or  if I found I didn't have money with me. But yea now waiting for the around Taiwan bus tour with inbounds!
