Our 2nd last day in taipei and today is the day where we are GOING HIKING people! yes me, miss velle is going hiking!!! muahaha, the cows are flying. And the hiking venue is the National Park - Yang Ming Shan!
SO i packed my sweets and wet tissue, lots of shillings for bus rides, cap for a sunny day, just in case, one can never be too sure, an umbrella if it rains, and finally a positive attitude! we are climbing! so definitely need lots of morale support!!! hahahhaa....
above: photos taken along the climb! and trackers on earth to tell us how much distance we have covered.
taduh! we have reached the visitors' centre after hiking 1.7km!!! WHAT! we have climbed for half an hour and we haven even really started the trail!?!? *fainting here*
Finally, we have reached the first lookout point at Yangmingshan...and trust me, there were afew hurdles on the way, like fallen trees on path, path broken and signages warning us of snakes!!!!! *fainting spells*
above: we gave up at the first lookout point after 1.5hr of climbing, er, i think i did pretty great already. *blush* So we took the bus up and down YangMingShan and finally back to Shihlin for lunch! heehee... so shiok ah!
Above: Next stop, a visit to Hot Springs at Villa32! woohoo, it's a relatively new spot, about a year and still very new and hip! We opted for a private "soak soup"
Above: snapshots..and more snapshots of our private soaking soup room....
tribute to my first love: ahren...he loves what i love, do what i love and follow wherever i go.
