CNY 2010: The End

The morning of Craig's last day in Kaohsiung dawned brightly. It was the first he had seen of the sun for quite a few days.

As soon as he'd finished breakfast Craig was taken to the nearest park so he could finally have some fun. Blue rocking ducks are ubiquitous in Taiwan. Fortunately, Craig likes them a lot.

Craig didn't really need a rest when he came to sit with Mum and Dad. He just likes to keep them close.

Right across the street from the hotel, with a lovely view of the Love River was an eatery with a great name.

After lunch, Craig's Dad was permitted to go back to the tower and spend another NT$200 (NT$100 per adult, Craig was free) to back up to the 74th floor observation deck.

The little black line in the photo below encircles the top of the hotel that Craig stayed in as viewed from the 85 Tower.

Craig had heaps of fun running around the observation deck but after a while his parents thought he might have more fun at a park. A short walk took them to a park with a jungle gym that they had spotted from the tower.

You could see the tower clearly from the park.

Craig had plenty of fun on another jungle gym in a nearby school that was meant for bigger kids.

The level of difficulty was high so for the first few runs through Craig's Mum stayed very close.

Craig played on this little obstacle course for at least half an hour.

After he had climbed and crawled his way through a few times Craig's Mum was able to rest at the side while Craig played by himself.

Dinner that night was had on the rooftop of the eatery called Auntie Anne's!!! There was pizza, French beer and sushi.

All in a relaxing riverside atmosphere. It was a shame that they had to leave to catch an 8pm train back to Taipei.

I am pleased to see that you chose such a quality eating establishment! Although I am sure that you would be better fed at this Aunty Anne's (so long as Uncle Jim was here to do the cooking).
