DAY THREE!!!!!!!!!:DDDhad my first ever BREAKFAST IN BED at 9am! she woke us up and i was frantically looking for slippers and jacket cause it was so so cold in the morn! gave up looking for specs cause she was waiting too long.LOL.there was toast w ham and egg (it tasted abit sweet but it was to my liking :D),with orange juice,and grapes&tomatoes! i ate another dorayaki too.muahahaha.then we set off at 11 for the loooong journey to SUNMOON LAKE.:D
first stop: brought alot of snacks etc along the journey,made food&restroom stops too,where we bought coffee,milk tea and more snacks for the 3hr journey!
second stop: saw fresh strawberries being sold along the way,and instead of buying picked ones,WE WENT DOWN TO PLUCK THEM FOR OURSELVES! cool eh! i was having so much fun and the sun was finally out! we also saw 'half-torn' mountains where half of them fell down after the 921 great earthquake 10years ago ): affected the WHOLE TOWN,90% of the land was not spared! :/
third stop: we reached SUNMOON LAKE! went to the temple there first to take a look,and also the front view of the lake where the sun was shining right in our faces,and yup,the long stream of reflection from the sunlight was pretty on the biggest lake in Taiwan!:D
next,we drove to another side of the lake for a different view (every single angle is different as said by dad's friend (: ) where we went to the food street again! taiwan is NEVER short of food serious.had milk ice cream,a mushroom fried bun which I MADE MYSELF cause the se-bibi uncle wanted me to!! serious! i wrapped my own and he wanted to take another photo where he pulled his shirt down.all of us were like 0.0, and i went 'eee! no!' HAHAHA! ran away aft tt,but the bun really tasted gd.xD 'shi shang wan jia' hosts are great at looking for yummy food! also had yam cake (told u they like yam!), duck meat bun, black tea, steamed corn, bought more snacks to munch!
fourth stop: drove back to our hotel, and of course, on the way, we had food stop and i went to buy local products like pineapple 'tarts'/cake, sa ki ma (made from egg), tried sun biscuit hahaha :D and xiao long bao!
fifth stop: took the boat ride around SUNMOON LAKE,and we were in gd time cause sunset was earlier in winter,and we caught it while we were on the boat! yay.. :D took video and loads of pic,met a funny man who spoke t us,and kept helping me take photos cause i asked him t.HAHAHA! we sat at the back which meant our backs were splashed wet,and the smell of engine engulfed us.price to pay for best seats i guess.LOL.
sixth stop: this was our yummy supper! we had sweet potato porridge w all the different yummy side dishes we picked! took at least 12 plates lah! it was yummy and soothing to eat sth hot and nice in the cold cold night!
