CAESAR PARK HOTEL Ken Ting has a convenient location that is just two minutes walking distant far from the most famous KenTing Street, where is also the popular night market. However, the two minutes distance blocks the crowds away; in the hotel area is quiet and peaceful. In the first evening, we would like to visit the night market and find tasty food as our dinner. It was a long weekend holiday in Taiwan, everywhere was crowded; we had to flow with people who around us. You find everything in a night market, food, toys; moreover, you see mini bar stands in KenTing. They offer any drink you order, including atmosphere that you look for in a real night bar. It was hard to believe that we had 25 degrees in Taiwan in a winter season.

墾丁凱撒的地理位置十分理想，就在著名的墾丁大街尾端，免去過多人潮與喧嘩的困擾，出飯店走兩分鐘便可進入熱鬧的街市與攤販區。第一晚我們決定在夜市裡邊走邊吃一路過癮；剛好踫上元旦連假旺季，大街上人潮的前進人流有默契地把每個人往前推移；要停留駐足的，會暫時被推出潮流之外，等看好時機再加入前進的隊伍。不只吃的，就連玩的、觀賞的都好精彩。最過癮，大街兩旁有自製的小型移動酒吧，十分有模有樣，吧台主人就在攤車上，眼前一列排開調酒所需酒料，再加上盞盞霓虹閃爍燈光，元月夜裡的墾丁竟然依舊十分火熱，著短袖衫的我們也被這氛圍感染不已。

The little bay beach is just in front of the CAESAR PARK HOTEL; customers can borrow all beach equipment with room cards. The beach is clean, and the sand is soft; it was joyful to let feet soak in the warm water. My daughter played with spindrift, jumped up and down; and Michael was just showing his Europian character that loves sunshine and water, floating and enjoying the beach time.

就在墾丁凱撒飯店對面的小灣沙灘沙質乾淨細柔，房客可以憑房卡借沙灘椅與陽傘或是兒童海灘玩具。細軟的沙子在腳下隨著溫熱的海水輕拂而過很是療癒；女兒踩著沖上岸的水浪花，而道地歐洲人米夏爾趨光喜水之性此時完全展露，在水中衝進衝出很有青春再現之感。

When having vacations in Europian hotels or villas, people generally order a half-portion or a full-portion service during the staying; a half-portion is including a breakfast and a dinner, a full-portion has an additional lunch. We take mostly a half-portion due to our schedule that we sometimes visit neighborhood areas in the daytime; so that we do not have to return to the hotel only for lunch. Dinner is different; after a full day sightseeing, it is comfortable and convenient to have dinner quietly in a place we stay; moreover, no worries about whom should drive after a relaxed drinking.

We would like to take things easily during our stay in CAESAR PARK HOTEL. However, we knew that their dinner buffet is worth to try; so we have reserved a table for three to enjoy. We had a table beside the window that was facing the sea; a view of the sunset and the coastal was just perfect for a romantic evening.

在歐洲一般度假村或是度假旅館都可以事先選擇半套或是全套預訂居住，半套便是住宿含早餐與晚餐，而全套則增加了午餐的選項，是十分方便的選擇優惠。我們一般選半套，最主要原因是有時候白天外出在鄰近腹地遊玩，若是為了吃中飯而再趕回住宿之地則顯得多餘；不過晚餐時間大多已回到休息之處， 在旅館內慢條斯理享受浪漫晚餐，還不用擔心若是飲酒之後的酒駕問題，其實也是大多旅客的選擇。

這次在凱撒我們則以隨性的態度決定吃飯的所在；有時在沙灘上玩得晚了，反正早餐吃得豐盛，於是中餐便先掠過；想到墾丁大街散步，就邊走邊買邊吃。不過凱撒的自助式晚餐非常有名氣，於是第二天晚上在事先預定的情況下，我們得以坐在面海的落地窗畔悠遊地享受道道美味料理。有別於街上的喧囂熱鬧，窗景旁的優雅則亦顯風情。

There was another point that we liked a lot during our stay; we joined two seasonal guide tours that were hosted by CAESAR PARK HOTEL. They were KenTing Night Tour and Trip to SheDing Nature Park. We were the only family to take part of the KenTing Night Tour; it seemed a private guide tour for us. The young and active guide not only showed us the Eluanbi Lighthouse but also told us some related and interesting local stories. Viewing the full-star sky without any light pollution was a precious experience for me. There were many families joined the Trip to SheDing Nature Park tour; that was an exciting tour. Also, it was hard to believe that we had 27 degrees in January, we lost the sense of seasons; meanwhile the weather in Germany was storming and snowing.

這次墾丁之旅還有件事令我們回到德國之後都還津津有味，那便是參與墾丁凱撒的季節性導覽活動；在四天三夜裡我們報名了「夜訪墾丁」與「社頂公園自然之旅」兩個行程。夜訪墾丁活動那晚只有我們這個家庭參與，可以說是私人導覽行程；導遊駕車帶著我們前往鵝鑾鼻燈塔，一路解說自然生態、背景與地方歷史故事。在毫無光害的大自然裡仰起頭觀賞星星，感覺星空似乎唾手可得。社頂公園自然之旅的白天導覽團則有許多家庭參與，炙熱的國家公園步道裡蒢蒢蔭涼之處底下的涼爽空氣，在元月裡依舊有著二十七度高溫的墾丁格外宜人。

The CAESAR PARK HOTEL Villa team offers fresh-deliver breakfast directly from their kitchen to our dining table every morning on the time that we wished. We could choose Chinese and Western two styles. If you have different preferences, you can talk to the housekeeper team; they will try to organize. I knew that I could exchange my daily breakfast menu; however, the Chinese rice gruel and those delicious side dishes made me felt hungry and looked forward to the second day morning. Not even to mention the fresh pressed juice, fruits, and salad, they tasted totally different than in Europe, very sweet and juicy. The last but not the least is the large table in the dining space; we loved it. If it is possible, we will set up a similar one in our home.

Villa的早餐是由管家團隊在每天早上的預定時間送達，並佈置擺設好所有點食料理。餐卡內有中式與西式餐點可選，如果有其它額外的特殊需求也可以事先跟管家討論請他們準備。雖然知道可每日替換餐點，不過中式熱騰騰的地瓜粥與爽口小菜都讓我每晚臨睡前期盼不已；以及現搾的蔬果汁、新鮮水果、沙拉所帶來的健康朝氣都很讓我們喜愛。用餐空間裡的那張大島桌實在讓我們念念不忘，一直研究著哪天如果有能力也要架設一張類似的桌面在生活的空間裡呢。

I prefer more and more a way to share my travel diaries; that is to tell my experience which is developed from my personal lifestyle than to tell you all information that you can also find on the internet. The trip to kenTing reminded me my childhood that we visit with my family; moreover, Michael and my daughter were satisfied with this relaxing holiday. Compare to have a trip in a city, doing nothing in KenTing was a great decision we could make during our stay in Taiwan.

CAESAR PARK HOTEL offers a clear and smart website for us to discover; it shows all information we need on it. Moreover, they give frequently seasonal offers; browsing around to find a next proper holiday for you. In case you need help, feel free to call the service department; while I tried to book a room for us, I had a payment problem due to my credit card, I called and solved all issues within 15 minutes.

撰寫出遊手記時，我越來越喜歡重點式擷取分享的方式；與其把官網上可以搜尋到的資訊複製貼上，倒不如把自己腦海中精彩的片段回憶與大家分享。一來，文章簡明扼要，再者也可以讀到以我的生活方式所經歷的不同體驗，這才有意思。這次墾丁凱撒之旅讓我重溫幼時回憶，同時也大大地滿足了家中另外兩口的度假慾望；比起在城市中不斷以雙腳行走探險，這樣子什麼都不做的小旅行也令人滿足。

墾丁凱撒大飯店的官網資料詳細，搜尋也方便，依照不同季節會有不同的促銷優惠套餐，可以依照適合自己的休假時間安排；如果怕遺漏資訊，其實也可以直接打電話給客服人員詢問（當初要先訂房，在刷卡預付定金時出現問題，馬上以SKYPE直播回台灣，在十五分鐘內已完成所有訂房手續。），得到快且完善的協助。

I used Olympus PEN-F and the object 45mm 1:1.8 to record my trip in kenTing; normally it would be better to carry in a city lifestyle. However, I would like to give a challenge to myself. Also, I wanted to be used to this camera as quick as possible. I did not expect that Olympus PEN-F is such a smart-designed camera; it is handy to carry and easy to operate in any situation, no matter the poolside or the crowded night market.

I would say, Olympus PEN-F is a camera has a high quality, not only the outside looking but also the essential character. It focus fast and captures sharp images; however, you see all beautiful details that compose the view. It can catch all stories front of me that I could like to record; it seems to be my send pair eyes; however, it is not aggressive to give pressure to the people who are in front of the camera.

I edited all images with Lightroom, not only about the exposure or the contrast but also my personal emotion.

這次南下墾丁我全程使用 Olympus PEN-F 機身搭配 45mm 1:1.8 定焦鏡頭紀錄我們的行程。其實這款機身比較適合在城市生活中使用，但是我其實想挑戰、順便磨練我對這台相機的手感，希望在短時間內上手。沒想到，它的輕巧與聰明的設定模式在不管任何情況下都十分好操作，不管是空曠的沙灘、陽光耀眼的池畔，或是人潮擁擠的墾丁大街上。

我會說，這是台十分有內涵與深度的相機。它的對焦很快速犀利，卻又包容下所有的細節；不是那種張牙舞爪的凶悍，卻在任何時間內可以替代我的雙眼捕捉下眼前故事與畫面。

這篇文章裡的所有照片都經過Lightroom編修，除了調整光線對比之外也增加了個人情緒反應在畫面中的滋味；別忘了，好的攝影，除了構圖之外，編修相片的經驗與能力也很重要唷。
