Second day @ Kaoshiung
While Teammate JL settled some stuff @ work, the 3 of us had our breakfast at the hotel, a must-have as the hotel has unique breakfast.
A car-less day as we wanted to travel by public transport.
Teammate JL brought us to see the different beautiful train station where one common for all is that all are quite people-less.
1st stop - Sizihwan Station
We walked and changed ferry to Ci Jin island
The only spoiler for the day was the rain but thank God it went smaller and eventually stopped when we arrived at the island.
We rented an interesting means of transport - 4wheel bicycle to travel round island. Took the front seats with Teammate JL and apparently that’s most physical-demanding. Haha!
We stopped over a few parks to see see look look.
We reached safely at our main destination, Wind-power Park where we spent quite a while there to enjoy the view, the breeze and of course to rest our tired legs.
On our way back, we stopped at 7-11 to fill our stomach and replenished our body liquid. We returned the bike and continue the tour with our (tired) feet. We went to the market and the little shops to look around as well. Tried a few local food too.
We walked and walked and walked and walked till we reached Cihou Fort, a place we didn’t planned for actually. Still, we had fun looking around and taking photos too.
We then set off, again walked and walked and walked till we reached the place we really looking for, Ci Jin Star Tunnel. Though the tunnel was “scary” as there were many stray dogs but the view at the opposite end of the tunnel was amazing.
By the time we left the island it was already “tian hei hei” but still it was only like 6plus. That’s one thing I cant get used to it in Taiwan - it looks like 8plus9 when is only 5plus.
We had our light munch (famous @ Ci Jin) and heavy and BIG freshly fruit dessert.
We headed back to the hotel where Teammate JL drove us to the next destination, a must-go when you in Kaoshiung and especially for its night view - Love River.
But before that, we stopped for Kaoshiung’s famous Hot Grass Jelly.
Unique! Never tasted before! Nice!
@ Love River, we took the solar-powered boat to tour around the Love River. Like! Love! Like! Love!
I simply love the night scenery there!
Coincidentally also met one of my JAMs students’ family there too.
We continued to tour around the river by feet before we set off to another famous spot of Kaoshiung, the 85 Tower. We wanted to go up initially but due to the weather as it may be fogy, we didn’t.
The night ended with Taiwan’s famous cup noodles for supper and resting our super tired legs.
Walked Teammate JL to her car… gave her all the presents as it will be the “last time” I see her.
We had a good short chat too. Feel that she has so much to share but cant as it was getting late.
to be continued...
