Day 14

A lovely day for the high speed train ride to Kaohsuing City in the extreme south of Taiwan. We arrived in only 1½ hours at the beautiful oceanside city. We were joined on this trip by Michele & Tala of the Taiwan Outbound GSE team

We had lunch at a local Taiwanese outside kitchen, and walked to the bamboo gardens that are near a children's park. After some fun on the swings, we went by bus to the seaside park if Cijin. The team went to the Shell Museum, and then walked along the beach. The beach ended at a point of high volcanic rock between the strait of China and the Kaohsuing harbor.

After a wonderful dinner of fresh seafood, we crossed the harbor by ferry and went to the night market. The Love River, which is outside our hotel, is busy with boating activity in the evening. So we ended the first half of our Taiwan adventure.
