We played some mahjong (that I was still trying to understand) and went to sleep. I even saw a shooting star and I made a wish to pass my resit exam (lol) and it came true! Yaaaaay. IвЂ™ve never seen anything like it, there were so many stars. I think I could look up at the sky forever, it was gorgeous. Later that night we took our flash lights and went to look at the sky. I have deliberated with my brain and we decided that we picked blueberries first and then had dinner. These reminded me of my childhood, picking wild blueberries in Nattland - delicious. They were the best blueberries IвЂ™ve had since Norway. We went to pick blueberries in their orchard but I forget if that was before or after dinner, regardless we did that and we got about 5 minutes to pick the ripe ones to eat. Now, I may be getting my chronological order mixed up by days and hours now. Clear soup for starters and steak for the main. No worry though, there were options for non-dairy containing meals and thatвЂ™s just what I had. Mmmmm yea! After freshening up we went for dinnerвЂ¦ it was a Western mealвЂ¦ With a lot of cheese and cream, oh the jealousy I hadвЂ¦ I once again cursed the company that didnвЂ™t have enough stock for my lactase pills. The room was beautiful and we had the view of the mountains and beyond. I stayed with Wendy and WilliamsвЂ™s family (and kicked William off the bed >_<вЂњ). We regrouped with the rest of the family and found our rooms. I probably dozed off several times during the ride up but I donвЂ™t even remember, thatвЂ™s the sneakiness of it! Finally after a long, but relaxing and picturesque ride, we arrived! вЂњDao le!!вЂќ. Music was our companion and the family busted out their best family vocals which I filmed, muahaha.ДЄs we went further up the mountain I got to see many sculptures and tiled pictures with vibrant colours, as well as various small waterfalls. The sights were amazing, I canвЂ™t really express the feeling, but it was one of tranquillity and wonderвЂ¦ and sleepiness. With many sharp corners, narrow spaces and huge tour size coaches and construction trucks hurtling down, it was essential everyone drove safely. On the way up the mountain the road became much narrower and this is where the walkie talkie came into the most use (and also brought many laughs from its abuse).

It was evident that my cold was becoming worse so Joe bought me some cough medicine.

This time it was the youngest sister, the husband and kids. At this village I got to meet another part of the family. There were mixed responses! Much to my amusement. At this stop I experienced my first squatting toilet experienceвЂ¦ ItвЂ™s no where near as traumatic as I have read in blogs, perhaps IвЂ™m just lucky to have gone to squatters that looked clean.ДЄnyway, we stopped off at a Hakka town 3 hours later and ate traditional Hakka food. On the first stop we received a walkie-talkie to communicate with the 2 other families coming from Kaohsiung. We started the ride from Kaohsiung and made some stops along the way. Almost 3 hours deep & high into the mountains, it was a lot cooler at 18 degree nights and 18-24 degree days. Window.ta=window.On Friday morning we set off promptly to begin the breath-taking and long road trip to Sheipa National Park (й›Єйњёењ‹е®¶е…¬ењ’).
