Look, a butterfly is on my face!








Well, here is our next adventure. Got on our bikes on a Sunday and drove to a waterfall. The pics are a bit random, but you can see the countryside, our bikers group, the waterfall, and me and Jeanette on my bike being silly in the traffic....literally playing in the traffic!


















The boys on their bikes, and the girls on mine. 4 hrs driving gives you buns of steal!





















Us in the crystal clear, crispy cold water! We swam right under the waterfall for a nice massage!

And, a really random wall of artwork which the American in the group was covinced that it was South African....we now have Indians! They are actually the original hakka from Taiwan-the aboriginal group! But, we had pics anyway!

Ok, so I've finally been on a trip in this country for longer than one day. We spent three glorious days in Taipei for a night and then off to Toroko Gorge for 2 nights. It was not what we expected..it was far better. We chilled, went on walks and just had a good old fashion break. Being in a polluted city for the past 8 months is not great, and getting out to breathing in fresh air was a pleasure. So search my blog cause all the pics seem to be all over and find the pics of the gorge. Missing you all.

We stayed at Tienhsiang Youth Activity Center. It was really great in a tiny little so called town Tienhsiang which is basically this center, a hotel, a food stand and an information centre. No shops. but its in the moddle of Toroko national Park and our balcony overlooked the river running through the gorge. Wow, it was breathtaking.
The entire gorge is made of marble and there are huge marble pools and boulders everywhere. The water is crystal clear with marble floore, so its amazing.

Us being a bit crazy and doing arty shots.
