3rd day - On way to Sun Moon Lake (Day of earthquake!)

Brekkie time...


Still lazing in the farm. waiting for driver to fetch us to Guishan station to Taipei.




Zhaori building where we live








On the normal train to Taipei. My mum called n ask if we felt tremor... cos there was an earthquake in Taiwan! but southern area Kaohsiong... I told her we didn't felt anything. but irony we r going towards there - our destination- sun moon lake





Their priority seats are really for people in need! seldom (only 0.01%) sit these places.



When we reach Taipei main station, we quickly proceeded to buy HSR tickets to Taichung station. We were so lucky cos due to earthquake some of the terminals r close, n all trains terminate at Taichung station! so we were not affected by it. We were also approached by reporters on how we were affected by this earthquake. We briefly told them we were not affected and can't tok more as we rushing to catch the train.We managed to catch it and it was v punctual. it goes at 11 a.m





The apology announcement (for the stop service after Taichung towards Kaohsiong)...



Once we reached Taichung station, we quickly went down and got bus tickets. This bus is the high speed rail service bus by nantou. it goes direct to sun moon lake and takes only 1.5 hrs! save time.



On the way...nice scenery...



We reached our hotel! Laurel villa... The boss Wayne and his wife are v friendly people. They pick us up at bus stop and send us there. act it very near. It also veyr near to the boats which take you around the lake.





Mei doing a pose?



Smiling boy... he vomitted again later in the evening.... so cham...



The room! the kids are so excited and running around. The floor is very clean n shiny too... can simply kiss... haaaa that how i feel there. very good for kids.





As we were hungry, we quickly got there n eat at a nearby cafe. Then we took the boat trip (3.30 p.m)
