It was the first big walk we have done as a whole family and we were not entirely sure how it would work out. Our youngest (4, nearly 5) managed pretty well though I did carry her for about two of the last 3 kms as she was really slowing up our progress as the sun was slowly setting. The brilliant weather, all downhill and a friend to play with made the whole trip very easy. My son even thinks he would like to do a similar hike again soon.

What a great outing! I’m looking forward to the day when I can do something similar with my daughter. How old was the youngest member of your party?

Thanks Cindy,
You must join us again for another adventure in Taiwan. Perhaps another hiking trip.

It is lovely trip for the family again. I am wondering how you can leave this place without staying longer. Enjoy the life.

Love from Cindy for the Family Fewings

Thanks MJ,
People rave about Thailand and Vietnamese but I think Taiwan deserves a better wrap for its sumptuous eating. The pictures above are mere entree to the incredible range and food here.

All very yummy indeed. I’m suprised McDonalds or KFC haven’t augmented their local menu with a duck-ball snack of sorts.

Happy memories of duck testicles in the hot pot and the best yummy snacks in the night market.

Postscript.

Leprena II was abandoned and lost in the Bashi channel between Tawan and the Phillipines on Monday the 11th November in a particularly intense depression. My son Timothy and I were picked up by the container ship “Cosco Brisbane” bound for Shenzen China.

A decade ago the trail hike would have been quite something. Certainly not as popular as it is today. The national park service have done a supurb job with upgrades to huts and bridges. The “bite-people-cat” plants are all still there. Ouch.
It is a fantastic trail and one I too would be keen to do again one day.
