Taiwan Day 6 and Christmas Eve

We only had a few short days in Haulien. I wish we had more. More rock climbing at the train station. 

Climbing never gets old


Love the art work on the trains


Our hotel near the airport had a pool and we had to wear swim caps


It was an awesome therapy pool. Lots of jets

And shower like things that had crazy pressure. 

Don't we look cute

All the window were amazing




There were 2 warm therapy pools, a cold one ad then an ice cold pool. There was also a lap pool and then a tiny kids pool that must have been over 100 degrees

Jack loves looking out the window

Someone was a little tired and didn't want to wake up. The flight back to Okinawa was quick we will have to go back to Taiwan to explore more. 7 days was not enough.

Christmas eve we spent with the Lum's. It was a ton of fun we read some stories, had a gift exchange and ate yummy food. We love the Lum family.


There was also a christmas tree lego building contest





Lots of friends to start the holiday off. The Lum's are so sweet and we had such a fun time with them.

Taiwan Day 5

We got a taxi and went to Haulien gorge. 

Our first hike in the gorge. Seth ran the whole thing about 3k

At the end of the trail there was a mini photo shoot going on with the boys it was comical.



Seth really got into posing for them.

The trail ended shorter than it says on the map because a typhoon created a huge rock slide. The boys could have spent the rest of the day climbing around on all the rocks.



Our Taxi guide knew all the places to take us. It was great and he even spoke a little english.

The rocks were amazing!





We walked along a path called Swallows something and we had to wear hard hats just incase rocks fell. 


We got to play on the suspension bridge for a bit



Family picture on the suspension bridge

This place was so beautiful. 


We ended the day at this beautiful beach. All the rocks are marble and it was beautiful.




I love this picture. The lighting was amazing



Our taxi after he dropped us off and i love the lanterns hanging everywhere

I can't remember if I added these to the last post but these are too funny. 

I loved the art work going up the stairs





Someone loves his daddy

the streets are covered in marble

Even the street benches were marble. It was beautiful
