Last minute planning made for a fantastic scooter ride through a few different mountain passes popping us out on the coast for the long weekend as Taiwan celebrated Dragon Boat Festival. We made it from door to door in less than two hours; just in time for a yummy BBQ feast along with LOTS of wine followed by late night skinny-dipping in the ocean! Awesome!
The morning after was off to a slow start as hammocks were present on the rooftop of the beach house. We finally mustered up the motivation and took off to explore more of the mountains surrounding 頭城. We came across a deserted resort that looked as though it hasn't been operating for years. I was able to locate it on Google Maps (pictured below) but unfortunately it doesn't offer the name of the facility.
The day was scorching but pictures were plentiful. The afternoon was spent relaxing on 外澳 beach which eventually led us back to BBQ feast time. We ate extremely well, drank loads and shared a lot of laughs between friends. Sleep was short and the party continued on the next morning not too long after it had stopped.
Good times always need to come to an end and it was unfortunate that time had arrived. Since it was 35° on the way home, we made a stop at the river in 坪林 for a much needed cool down. As luck would have it, Egrets were nesting in the area and we were able to get some shots although I need a much better lens! There's a new album on the right.
And like that, it's back to the grind. Four days left of university with one presentation and two exams. I am ready for it to be done although I am not ready to go back to work. I really do prefer holidays, but who doesn't?!
