Around the actual dates of Chinese New Year we did not travel out of Taichung...the rest of the country is up and down the highways at that time) so instead we were around the place and we got a wii.....Family Chinese new year gift :))
Messing around at the Art museum.
Wiiiiiiiiii
The kids got red envelopes(Chinese New Year tradition..red envelopes with money in them)...which they went right out and spent:)
Playing around at the Wen-xin park.
Just a funny pic..got a fright when we turned round quickly...:))
In the second week we went away. We drove round to Taidong for two nights and then back to Kenting for two nights. The weather was great and we had beautiful days on the beach in Kenting. Got cold the morning we were leaving so headed to the aquarium and back. Great to get away and really good to see a part of the island we have not seen. Taidong is always battered by the typhoons and the last big one battered a lot of the city..the tourist industry is suffering but the coastline is beautiful and well worth seeing. Hope things pick up for the locals again!
Sunglasses on and ready to go....
Along the east coast..
Taidong seashore park. (Maya's hat awol so wearing mom's.)
Posing in the car....
...and refusing to pose in the car:)) "I'm busy!"
At the Taidong railway art park...this is the oldest train (turntable ) station in taiwan.
At xiaoyeliou. We went to Yeliou with Peggy and Vincent when mom was here a few years ago. This is the small version...where the rocks have formed weird shapes like mushrooms etc due to erosion.
Then in Kenting. I have a bunch of pics on the video camera still so will post later ( was reluctant to use the camera as my last camera died because of beach sand:) IT was hot and the water was nice, a beautiful time!!
Late afternoon rock pooling...
Last play on the beach....
Arcade fun.
At the aquarium. It was so windy Maya was struggling to walk...which she thought was hysterically funny.
On the way home..with Annie the doll.
Missy with her Minnie mouse bow:))
