Woohoo! The day has finally come for us to don life jackets and oars to brave the river! Lady luck was on our side, the skies were blue, the sun was scorching. It's a perfect day for rowing! :D
The long winded landlady was astonished when she saw us clad in board shorts and tshirts. She has previously told us numerous times to wear long sleeve and long pants to prevent ourselves from being sun-baked. Little did she know that her advice has fallen to deaf ears, until she saw us in the morning! Hee, you should've looked at her expression. It was like someone seeing dinosaurs for the first time in their lives! ;p
Haha, so what is the moral of the story? We do as we please! WAHAHAHAHA...
Like a mother sending her kids off, the landlady bidded us farewell when our bus arrived. Yay, off to the don't know what river to embark on our first ever rafting adventure! A journey that normally took 1.5 hours needed only 1 hour. The uncle who drove us there must have imagined himself to be starring in the movie, Initial D, everytime he is behind the steering wheel. You should have seen Mr Low's greatful face when we stepped foot on our destination. Haha, his face was white as a sheet. What a lamester! ;)
We were told that due to the typhoon effects, the water level in the river was at its all time highest! Woohoo, what a ride it's gonna be!
Yeeha! The fun has just began! We will conquer the rapids! ;)
Look at the rapids! Despite rowing furiously, we were still swayed to the rocks. We nearly thought we were going to hit the rocks and bleed to death! So scary! :(
Guess where we are seated on the boat!
It was a fun day but all that rowing made my limbs jellish! I felt like a sea cucumber! Hehe, look at my tanned arms and rosy face! I'm the sunshine kid! ;D This is our room! For S$30/night, it is a very decent place, like Hero House in Taichung. The only flop is that the owner has a weird sense of arrangement. Look at where the TV is situated! The owner must have thought that everybody watches TV like a turtle! You literally have to stretch your neck in order to catch a full glimpse of the TV! -slaps forehead-
Yet another classic. This is the ACTUAL size of the bathroom. The entire room is so big, yet only such a pathetic area is dedicated to the bathroom. You can practically shit, urine and shower while sitting on the toilet bowl! Haha, the owner must have thought all her customers are as lazy as her! ;)
With Taroko gorge and water rafting conquered, we are done with Hualien. It's Taipei time, people. The thought of yummy fruits, hot spring and Ding Tai Feng makes me so excited! Watch out, here we come!!
