Sun Moon Lake

Our community where we live planned a trip to Sun Moon Lake...

I think this place is one of the most beautiful that we have seen (besides Kinmen Island), since arriving in Taiwan.

We had to be up with the sparrows, as the bus was leaving at 7am! We all got given a breakfast sandwich (vegetarian especially ordered for our family - and a few others too).

We were entertained with the movie on the way, Slumdog Millionaire, very good movie, thank goodness it wasn't Karaoke!

Our first stop off was at the "Luxury bathrooms"...and that's what it was...bathrooms...

Then it was back on the road, and another movie (this one was Chinese)...

We arrived at Sun Moon Lake, and it was absolutely beautiful. We first went for lunch, and were ushered to a special vegetarian table. The food was not too bad, some of it was quite enjoyable - of course the boys just stuck to the plain rice!

After that we went on a boat trip around the lake, and to a little sightseeing island.

On the way back home, we made another few stops, a peacock farm, a winery and some kind of shop selling cakes and sweets.

We ended off the evening with dinner at a restaurant in Toufen - which was also quite a good meal. It ended off with Willow-River pretending to be a statue and the people were loving it, and of course taking his picture!

We got home at around 9:30pm, but it was such a lovely day, and we all had a great time!
