Tomorrow to Heping....

...if the weather allows. Along the coast, through the most cliffy section of Taiwan - ChingShui - and along a totally new stretch of road for us. But that is tomorrow. Hours away.

Tonight we took it upon ourselves to force our way through a barbeque, roasting the most delicious mushrooms money can buy (yes, the only ones they sold....perhaps not so special), and sipping at the fountain of the Taiwan Beer. Then peanuts and a game of darts. Apparently (despite having the better form in throwing) I suck. :)

Now we sit at home, bikes readied and bags packed for tomorrow, listening to two cats fight over territory on the roof of our neighbours. It makes a good show, for sure. I was just about to go grab a nice video of the pair taunting each other with the most unfathomable bellows of cat-calls, but Crystal informed me that our equally perceptive (annoyed?) neighbour had just then taken a hose to them to make them move. Now the fight rages on, the coos and the cries and the howls echo through the alley...but the darkenss hides the music makers. So, no video. Just a story. Think of two cats, centimetres away from each other, nose to nose, howling and screeching endlessly. The evolutionary battle rages....

Tomorrow....the cliffs of Chingshui await us. How shall we fare.....how shall we fare.....
