Taichung Day 2

Taichung Day 2

My last day in Taiwan! I did something that I had never really done before on vacation. I was still a little upset that I missed the sunset at Kaomei the night before, so I purposely set my alarm for 4:30am so I could attempt to see the sunrise. I think the last time I willingly woke up that early on vacation was so I could make it to the Tsukiji Fish Market to see the morning auctions. It was…

Taichung Day 1

Onto day 2 of Taiwan. I woke up around 6am to get ready for the day.

Pier 2 & Lotus Lake

Pier 2 & Lotus Lake

For our second day out in Kaohsiung, we started the morning off with breakfast at the Toong Mao hotel lobby. After we finished, our first order of business was to head back to Pier 2 for the Mayday concert exhibit. When we got there it was still a little early, so I took the opportunity to stroll down the bicycle paths towards Lover’s Pier. I wish I had more time because the trail was actually quite lovely in the morning….
