Taiwan has been rainy. It seems even more rainy because our only mode of transport is by scooter, on which we (and all of our stuff) are regularly exposed to the elements for long hours at a time. Between downpours, generally in hazy conditions, Taiwan has some pretty unreal sights to offer. Here is a very pared down selection.
Kaohsiung
Sun protection and vines. Victorian Tarzan.
Roots scape
yup birds
Motorcycle and tank scape
Neal and Chinese tank prevention beach
Neal in tea bliss
Teletubbie tea scape on 60 stone mtn
drivin'
Mountain on rice paddy in east rift valley.
Rice scape
train on bridge on rice
maybe I should have put this one in the food related post...
Shitiping harbor
Highway 11 after it stopped raining on us
Somewhere in Lishan
Lishan (Pear Mountain)
THE Lishan high mountain tea.
The bottom of Toroko gorge.
It is marble lined and the river is the color of wet cement.
Marble cave hotspring (in Taroko) in cement colored water with Jonas, the Swede.
Ladies who convinced us to go to the hotspring.
They were on a 20 year reunion tour of Toroko.
This is the landslide that caused us to spend 2 extra days driving through the mountains back to Hualien. It was bigger than it looks.
The first wild monkey I ever did see.
More Toroko
And Toroko
Temple roof in Taipei. At this temple, you can go to pray to Buddha, Daoist gods, and Taiwan folk gods all at the same time!
