After last weekend's somewhat miserable trip to Taipei on the overnight bus we decided to stay home this weekend and do things in Kaohsiung instead. Lotus lake is a reservoir on the north side of Kaohsiung. It is surrounded by a park and has multiple temples and pagodas built on piers on the lake. You can rent a sailboat or pedal boats or paddle a dragon boat. The kids though were most interested in the wake boarding. One end of the lake is set up with a set of towers spread in a circle around the lake with a cable running continuously around the loop. You can grab on to a handle and be pulled around the lake on a wakeboard. There are multiple jumps and other obstacles. You have to do one lap on a knee board and then you can graduate to a wakeboard. Everyone seems to have figured it out pretty quick except for Syd who keeps crashing on the turns.
