School trip to Tainan

Right finally a moment to write about the school trip. We left on the Monday morning and headed straight to a spa and pool area in the mountains close to Kaoshung. The trip was fine and we had armed Dylan's bottel with ginger (good for motion sickness). He made it almost to the end when the winding mountain roads got too much and we were grabbing for the plastc bags. Once we were there and for the rest of the trip he was fine though.
There was a really great pool for us to lounge around and then we could go river rafting...needless to say Dylan and I stayed at the pool and Ciro went on the river for a 2.5 hour session which he thoroughly enjoyed. At the pool Dylan did his favorite things..eat...swim...eat...swim!
We met up with the others and drove to the largest Taoist temple in Taiwan, close to Tainan. We were spending the night in the visitors centre, which was really well set up and in the morning we ralised how beautiful the gardens were. After breakfasst we headed to anestuary /marshland area where we took a boat to the river mouth. We could play on the beach for a bit and look for crabs etc.. as it is the Taiwan strait though it is not a beautiful beach...the sand is quiet dirty...still there was no stopping Dylan, he had a ball in the sand and puddles. After we found a tap to rinse him off under, we headed back and after lunch we visited the salt museum. The museum itself is set up really well and tells the story of the ijnportance of salt in taiwanesw socieety 100 years ago until today. Although the salt is no longer mined there, there is a mountain of salt you can climb up and Dylan insisted on going up, prcactically climbed all the way holding my hand...had to carry him down of course. Then it was time to head home. It really went well and he had a great time playing with the other kids on the trip.
