Kinmen Island: Day 4 (cont'd)

Wandering around Zhushan Village (珠山聚落) on a rainy morning

So many old doors ... loved these ones!

My guesthouse and my rented scooter parked in the lane

Unfortunately it poured down for most of the day so I didn't wander too far

Kinmen Island: Day 1 ...

My first time on an airplane since early 2020! It was quite exciting! I landed on Kinmen (金門) around 11:00AM. My plan was to rent a scooter at the airport but the three shops there had no scooters available. Apparently one has to book in advance. Oops!

I caught a taxi to my guesthouse and on my way over I sent them a note to say I was without a scooter and asked if they could help me find one. I arrived at the guesthouse around 11:30 and a scooter guy was there just after noon to drop me off a brand new scooter! Talk about convenience!

The day was hot and sunny! I took off fairly quickly to explore a few areas. I knew rain was in the forecast for Sunday and Monday, so I spent the afternoon checking out as many places as I could while the weather was so good! The island roads were fairly quiet and there didn't seem to be many tourists around which is the way I like it!

So many cute houses like this one around the island
