Bike Riding in Bali

On Craig's Dad's day off last Thursday, Craig had breakfast at home with Craig's Dad and then, not long later, headed off to meet Craig's Mum. You can probably tell from this picture that Craig was suffering from hayfever. He had been sneezing every five minutes at home ever since he woke up.


When they arrived at the MRT station not far from Craig's Mum's computer class where they were to meet her, Craig couldn't wait for her to arrive.


It was a very happy little reunion.


The family then moved on Danshuei to have lunch outdoors. Craig's hayfever was starting to clear up by then, he hadn't sneezed at all on the MRT ride.


The next thing was to take a ride on a ferry across the river to Bali and hire a family-sized bicycle. Craig's Dad didn't take a picture of the bicycle but it was just like the one they rode in Kaohsiung a few weeks ago.


Craig insisted on stopping at a park with a jungle gym. The only problem was that it was right next to a temple where people were singing on a karaoke machine! Very noisy!


On the other side of the jungle gym was a net thing that Craig climbed up quite a few times very well.


But, as soon as the video camera was turned on he began having all sorts of trouble.


The family then climbed back on the bike and rode all the way out to the Shihsanhang Museum of Archeology. At first, Craig seemed pretty happy to be walking around instead of sitting on the bike.


The top floor of the museum has a glass floor that looks straight down inside the building. Craig's Mum didn't like looking down four floors to the ground far below (there's actually a very strong-looking metal grate just below the glass to save people if the glass should break) so she walked on the side where there was metal flooring.


At the end of the top floor is a glass wall with a .... view. It's not a beautiful view, is it?


After heading outside, they walked up to the top of the museum's roof to sit down and have a snack.


The lack of chairs didn't bother Craig.


There was a stop at another park with a jungle gym and see-saws on the way back. Apparently, Craig's Dad still weighs more than Craig's Mum and Craig put together!!


Craig's Mum was so hungry after all the bicycle riding that they had to stop halfway home and have a pretty ordinary dinner at a coffee shop. The food just couldn't come fast enough.
