Taipei - Monday 27 January 2020

Got up and had breakfast in the hotel. Not good. I love Chinese food, but not the breakfasts and this was very local. Checked out and headed back to Hotel Papa Whale in Taipei and left our bags.

View over the park from our hotel room..


Then headed to Juifen by MRT and then bus. It's in the northern part of Taiwan and about a 2 hour bus ride. Took a look at Juifen Old Street and had some lunch. Then had a coffee.

Looking down to Keelung...



That's Mount Keelung in the background which we are about to climb...




Then hiked up Mount Keelung which is nearby. It's very cold but at least not raining today.




We are on the northwest coast of Taiwan now...





Coming back down...




We then headed back to Taipei and checked into the hotel. Had a snack of mango sorbet as Alex was hungry...



That night we headed to Ningxia Night Market for dinner which was walking distance from our hotel. Tried some different foods and headed back. Then had a cocktail at a nearby bar which was done out like a barber shop and I think that's what is used to be...


The next day when leaving I had some black sesame mochi at the Cathay Lounge. Not bad...


At least the Cathay Lounge is generous...
