Craig had plenty to look at while he sat. He likes trains.
Craig kept his parents pretty busy on the train so the next time a picture was taken, the train ride was over, luggage had been taken to the hotel and it was time to go sight-seeing. Unfortunately, there was a very big bridge and overpass between the hotel and nearest MRT station.
The first stop was to look at the very special design of the roof on Formosa Boulevard Station.
Craig liked it, but then again, Craig likes anything that is blue.
Craig is also reasonably patient when it comes to having his picture taken a number of times.
After a short ride on the MRT and an even shorter bus trip they arrived at the former British Consulate which the local government claims was the "first Western style building in Taiwan".
It's at the top of a hill so there was more stairs to climb. Soit-Jade didn't care, she was asleep.
The back garden of the consulate has a little coffee shop and lots of seats so people can sit and enjoy a view of Kaoshiung Harbor.
Craig wanted to climb on this little protective wall without assistance.
That's why Aunty Suprana kept a close eye on him.
Inside the consulate are some almost interesting wax figures.
Craig spent a lot of time just running around like a mad thing. When his batteries finally ran out he decided to just rest, right there and then.
Dineer was had at a harbourside restaurant that Craig's Dad had noticed when the little group was on a bus travelling to the consulate. Unfortuately, a nearby temple began letting of fireworks every few minutes and Craig still hates fireworks.
Craig had plenty to eat in between bursts of rockets and other noisemaking but he spent plenty of time on Craig's Dad's lap being hugged and comforted.
Just outside of the MRT station was an outdoor movie screen that was showing a Taiwanese opera performance. It sounded pretty bad to Craig's Dad and he wasn't at all surprised that the audience consisted of one elderly couple. But the good news was, it didn't scare Craig! :>
