Taiwan free and easy : Alishan

Visited Taiwan last year 2011/2012, was in Taiwan for new year..

We actually went Taichung to stay for a night before taking the train to Chaiyi.

It is cheaper to book the tickets in advance as it will be much cheaper.

We booked a package with seasonstar,四季星空. 

http://www.seasonstar.com.tw/

3 days and 2 nights.

The package includes almost everything transport to and fro the minsu, dropping by some spots on the way up, trip to see the clouds, sunset and sunrise and some meals. The owners are very friendly and kind people.
The owner discuss our itinerary with us and also highlight when are the interesting things to look out for after dinner.

The taxi driver picked us from the Chaiyi HSR station. We manage to liaise with him because I bought a 3G sim at the airport. 

No fanciful or touristy place.

The taxi driver bought us to eat Chaiyi famous chicken rice.

Our version looks a bit bland as we don't take fried onions and it was the highlight of the  meal. However, the chicken rice was good. Nothing like singapore version of chicken rice.

Along the way, we stopped by a roadside fruit stall. We were curious as some of the fruits are not found in Singapore. We bought the yellow peach to try, the stall owner helped us to cut it up.

the fruit is creamy and sweet!

We did some sightseeing along the way to seasonstar.. 

Pretty flowers everywhere.

London Day 4 free and easy Sightseeing : tower of London

Tower Bridge

 Tower of London

Our Yeoman Warder who left us because someone fainted. Although another Yeoman Warder was attending to her. He just cancelled the whole tour and ask us to wait an hour for another one. We explored the place on our own because we did not have so much time to wait for another tour.

Caught while exploring the place on our own.. Quite interesting and the crowds were participating. There are a lot of ongoing tours and places to visit. Worth visiting.

 The actors were just stilling leisurely and having tea and tourists and just take photos of them. 

London Day 4 part 2 Borough Market

 

 We walked from tower gate to Borough Market as the guards at tower gate said it is nearby. We intended to take a bus initially. We took around 15 mins.

Quite tiring as we already walked along the riverside and tower gate and the weather is just hot.

Borough Market is really worth a visit. There are a lot of interesting food available. Pastries, sandwiches, and food from different countries. Good place for lunch.

We have this potato with cheese and chicken sandwich for lunch and meringues. There are so much more food to try out!

Wish we have the stomach for more food.

Go there with an empty stomach.

There is a tube station just beside the market. London Bridge.  accessible
