Hualien 花蓮 — Day 1 and 2 ...

Our route
Day 1 — I arrived in Hualien in the late afternoon via train. After settling into my room, my hosts treated me to my first dinner. I would be staying in Shoufeng Township (壽豐縣) which is a small university town. Over dinner, I discussed some of my plans with my hosts and they were particulary interested in one destination since neither had been. We agreed to go there the following day.

Day 2 — I was without 老紅, my scooter, although I got a call around 11:30am to say she had arrived. We were halfway down the coast by this time and what a beautiful drive it was!

Our destination: Baxian Caves (八仙洞) which is just over the Taitung border. Free.
