Camping Photos

Right then, finally I have gotten my A into G with regards to our recent pictures from various weekends away.

1. Camping in Dili/Sun Moon Lake:

A few weeks ago, just after a big fat typhoon had hit our little island, we decided to go camping in Dili (past Shuili). It's remote, quiet and beautiful - all you could ask for in a weekend away. However, we didn't really think things through too well and ended up having to change plans and camp in Sun Moon Lake instead - as you can see from the pictures: landslides, mudslides and raging waters prevented us from getting anywhere near our favorite little camping spot.

2. Beach resort weekend in Da-an.

Martin and I decided we'd try a change from mountain scenery and head for the beach this particular weekend. The weather was gorgeous and our lovely weekend was only slightly marred by the crazy beach life guard, who wouldn't allow anyone to swim past shoulder height in the water!!

3. Jacuzzi spa hotel in Dongpu.

Just before another typhoon hit in July sometime, we went to Dongpu and enjoyed the spa hotel in the mountains there. On the Sunday morning when we checked out we were told quite sternly by the hotel manager that we should travel straight back to Yuanlin as the storm was about to hit and we shouldn't get caught in the mountains. But... we didn't listen to him and carried up the other direction on the road. We found a lovely suspension bridge and managed a little walk around before the rain really did get a little scary and we decided that driving home asap was the best option.
