Trip to Taiwan

Day 1 10-12-07

We arrived at the airport at about 12 pm. We checked in, which has hell of a hustle. My grandparents forgot to wrap their wine, and in the end they couldn't bring it along. Hahaha. After the rest of my family checked in, we went into the next terminal and waited to board. We boarded at 1.45 pm and we fly at 2.30 pm. We arrived in Taiwan at about 7 pm. We took our luggage and got transfered to the hotel. After dinner we turned in early.

Day 2 11-12-07

We woke up and get washed. After breakfast we took off to this Mountain Ali (weird name). It took a whole day's drive to get there so there wasnt anything much. But we spend our time in the bus catching up with old times, exchanging stories, for we never seen each other for a while. And times like this for all of us to be together for a long period of time is very rare.

Day 3 12-12-07

We woke up at about 5 am to get ready so that we could take the train up the mountain at 5.50 am. We got there in good time and took the train up. After a look at the mountain view, and the very cloudy sunrise, which meant we couldn't see it because of the clouds :( , we went for breakfast. After that we walked back to the hotel to have a quick shower and last minute shopping before we boarded the bus to head for our next destination. That night we arrived at a lakeside hotel, which had a nice view. We slept quite well that night for we were all tired.

Day 4 13-12-07

This day we had no much of a rush so we woke up at our own pace and went for breakfast at 7.30 am. After a quick photograph, we boarded a ship that took us on a tour around the lake. It was nice with the wind blowing at us. Finishing this, we went back to the hotel to pack and we left once again to head towards our next destination- A themepark X) ! Well I don't know its exact location, but all I know is that we had loads of fun. My grandmother was keeping an eye on us teenagers for she didn't want us to ride the dangerous ones. It scared her out of her wits by just seeing them. That night we stayed at hotel with hot springs X) !! I had a nice hour of hot bath and went back to the room sleepy...ZZZZZ

Day 5 14-12-07

We woke up early for we had to leave before a certain time. So we had breakfast and left to I-forgot-where... Wait let me think. Ok I seriously forgot where, but as long that night we were way past tired. And the hotel was 5-star!! YEA!!

Day 6 15-12-07

As my parents, my grandfather and my uncle had to visit factories that day, the rest of us went on a one day tour. We had this cute guide to take us around XP and we went to quite a lot of places. The morning was devoted to shopping while the afternoon was devoted to sight-seeing and also shopping. We went to Taipei 101 which is if I'm not mistaken the tallest building in the world for a short visit before we met my parents and some others for dinner. Then it was a last goodbye before we returned to our hotel for a good night's rest.

Day 7 16-12-07

We was woken up at 4 am in the morning so that we could catch our flight which was at 8 am. We all travelled to the airport and checked in. After a hurried breakfast, we entered the main terminal and waited till the plane was about to take off. We arrived back at about 2 pm.

All of us had a good time. We will all miss being together, for after this, it will be a very long time till the next time all of us cousins will meet again, maybe even never.
