Taiwan trip 2012 @ 20/3

Its the 6th day in Tw, planned to go for hot spring @ New Beitou and Danshui.

Early in the morning, Eric is having a very leg pain due to his urine acid. No matter how he couldn't join us for today's trip but wil try his best to come to us @ Shilin nite market after all our walking attraction. Of course his poor wife Samantha is with him.

We took MRT to New Beitou. Since this station is the centre for hot spring so the deco in the train are all about hot spring. Since this is the 1st time i come for hot spring, m feeling very excited too. We walk for more than 30 mins to look for the outdoor hot spring but we failed finally v just simply choose a hotel there which offer hot spring day package.

I really can't recall the hotel name. As the hotel can't accept beach trousers for men so the 3 men go to buy a proper swim wear. Gao lat, i also forgot bout the price i think it should be ard NTD1k for couple including an afternoon tea which include a pc of cake n a drinks. For single they dont provide package its NTD360 for hot spring. After changing then we go for the hot spring which locate at the roof top of that hotel. Before we started we planned to spend at least 5 hr here since v pay this much xD. But, after we started we really know we can't especially me, i can't stay in the pool too long time as i will have headache. Huh, i think i must have problem. Around 12pm, v shower n go for the afternoon tea (the afternoon tea supply from 12-9, sounds weird huh). Was cheated, if the price for a pc of cake is exactly NTD140 which means 4 of us was forced to pay for this!

After that, we head to Danshui. Drop at Danshui station n walk. 1st food i bought is 继光香香鸡! Its damn licious! Then we buy the 小叮当豆沙饼. The filling is really fulllllll. No wonder the queue is so long. Just walk walk n c c n v stopped at a stall to buy souvenier. Then i buy 3 sausages to fulfil my mouth then go 八里 a place i tot i went for seafood last time i came, but this place is famous with 孔雀蛤, arghhhh so delicious! Then v go to fisherman wharf to go for the seafood dinner. What an expensive dinner we had total ard NTD5k for 5 of us but we ate big crab, big lobster, big lala.

As Eric yap called us for too many time then we just head to Shilin. I buy 2 short pants n hubby buy shirts in Net. Hehe the most look fwd to for me at Shilin is the smelly bean curd which Siwei brought me to last time. I eat two packs of it this time! Then we move to the food court at Shilin to have our supper, the most delicious is 麻油腰花. Actually my stomach nvr felt empty, so just cant consume too much. Oh ya, before we reach the food court i tried out the macaroon here, its suit me, miss it now!

After the supper its already ard 1am. No choice, back by cab with 3 vehicle.

Hahaha aft couple weeks only can update my 3rd day in Tw :P

原本的计划是要凌晨3.30起床然后上祝山看日出的，不过我们的司机大哥说啊，只有1／10的机会可以看到喔，为了不要失望，我们决定不要有期望。结果就7点起床，7.30+ 我和阿祥2个就跑去小火车站买票上（死火忘记什么山了）好像是平溪赏樱花！买票之后就回饭店和他们会合去吃早餐。阿里山的饭店都好奇怪的，饭店本身就只有房间没有餐厅，所以我们山长水远跑去吃早餐，不过我本身是觉得不错吃啦。。。清粥小菜。。。
然后我们就上火车去赏樱啦，今天回暖只有17-18度（笑死人，17-8都叫回暖）穿我的战衣太热，不穿就太冷。。。不过樱花真的很美哩！之后3个跑去神木区，i m the other 4, back to the hotel area since m feel not really well.
Ard 12+, the 3 went to ShenMu came back to join us then v started our journey to Taichung n stop by 夫妻树, wake up too early, take a nap sin! Aft we take a few photos at 夫妻树, then continue our route, but the road too long til havent reach at Taichung, 我们贴心的Sunny准备了方便面to let us fulfil our stomach at roadside, although normal flavor but it taste so nice since c r too hungry in 2pm. V reach at Sun Moon Lake at ard 4+, as usual v just stop by less than 30 mins to capture photo then continue to the strawberry farm which Sunny said the season is going to end soon, v should have the experience to get the strawberries from the tree by our own-self. Somehow, it started to rain while we arrive at the farm, v just stop by less than 15mins then go to Nantou to hav our last dinner at Taichung. V had a lot of frying food there, its delicious! Before Sunny drop us at Taichung high speed rail station he brought us to a 汽车零件大卖场for bout 15mins. V reach the station on bout 7.40 n wait for the train to come. Finally the train come on time n its time to says byebye to Taichung.
V reach Taipei main station ard 9.05 n trsf to Ximen station by MRT. Problem appears, the hostel which i book nid to walk for bout 5mins fr the station, my hubby started to show me black face, kns, u tot i dont want to stay 5 star ar?! After check in, v rush to 华西街观光夜市which is the nearest to us. Somehow, as a 观光夜市its close too early, then v just simply take our dinner at a roadside stall. This meal is...... So far so good lor. Then is the time for us to walk back n sleep, ops before i back i go to the Family Mart to get those staff that i bought online. Its cost me bout NTD4700++
