Peninsular Malaysia
After spending two weeks with Jo in Borneo we made our way to peninsular Malaysia. Staring in KL, we relaxed aching muscles for 3 days. We caught a 4 hour bus north to the Cameron Highlands. A travel guide showed us around the highlands - BOH tea plantation and processing factory, bee farm, strawberry farm, and an insect and retile enclosure. Loved it!

Moon Festival and Lanyu
Did a 3 day, 2 night trip to LanYu (Orchid Island), Taiwan. It's off the east coast and is a 3 hour ferry ride. The ocean was rough and there was plenty of upset stomachs. LanYu's main resident population is the Tao who came to the island about 800 years ago. LanYu has good snorkelling and diving. On our last swim, Ange and I both saw a sea snake (Banded Sea Snake - Laticauda colubrina) about 10 feet from us. It was about 5 feet long and scared the living Jebis out of us. Ange also spotted a slow moving Flounder and 2 small squid. Great trip - highly recommended!

Mt Rinjani
Did a 3 day, 2 night hike up Mt Rinjani. Indonesia's 2nd highest peak at 12,224 ft. The nights were freezing and the days were breathtaking. Rinjani is ranked 39th in the list of peaks by their topographic prominence. Wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_peaks_by_prominence The prominence of a peak is the minimum height of climb to the summit on any route from a higher peak, or from sea level if there is no higher peak.

Yuli, Nanan, & Antung
Weekend trip to Yuli, Taiwan. We caught the Saturday morning train to Yuli and checked into the Wisdom Garden home stay. We rented scooters and drove to Antung where we enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the hot springs. After, we drove through the mountains and took in the views. After a 7-11 stop, we headed back to the home stay and sat outside to enjoy a few beers. After a delicious sleep, a yummy breakfast awaited us outside in the gardens. We then drove our scooters to Nanan where we started the 10KM hike on the Walami Trail in the Yushan National Park. The rain almost caught up with us just as we were leaving. After snapping a few more pictures, we drove back to Yuli where I ran out of gas and Matt had to give me the old Taiwan tow to the nearest station. Before getting on our train, we enjoyed hot pot at Shabu Shabu. Great weekend away, just the two of us, we'll be back for sure!

Taiwan Peace Weekend
A group of us celebrated the long weekend by driving from Kaohsiung to the beautiful East Coast. We enjoyed pizza at Uncle Pete's Pizza in Taitung followed by a night at the Sea Art Hostel, hot springs in Jhiben and then a night camping in a valley just outside of Taitung.

Taman Negara, Malaysia
We took a 2 hour bus ride from Kuala Lumpur to a small village and then took a 3 hour boat ride down the river to the Taman Negera jungle. It's cited as the oldest rainforest in the world (110 million years old), double the age of the Amazon, as it wasn't impacted by the last ice-age nor any volcanic eruptions.

The Taste of Pavement
We were travelling along highway 22 with our friend Jenny. We were about half an hour outside Maolin when the back tire blew out. It felt as though I was driving on ice. The back of the bike swung from side to side. Luckily, when the bike went side ways and flipped we were in the scooter lane and no cars were directly behind us. We are scraped up but safe. Somebody with a van stopped and we put the bike into the van and took it to a repair shop. $3.20 was all it took to get it going again and get us home!

Tainan Walking Tour
We did the walking tour that the Lonely Planet Taiwan book recommended. We didn't finish the walking tour as it was sweltering (around 35) and we'd been walking for about 4 hours. Highly recommended; Tainan has amazing food and seems a little more "cultural" than Kaohsiung.

Guanziling Weekend Trip
Left Saturday afternoon after Angela finished work. Took Highway 3 north around DaPu and back down to Guanziling. Met our Friends Greg and Caroline. Stayed in a very night hotel with private hot spring in room. The hot spring water is muddy and leaves your skin very smooth. Ate a roast chicken on Saturday night - had to pull it apart with our hands. Sunday, we drove to the fire, water cave - not very impressive but the drive was beautiful. Took Highway 1 home. Saw an aweful car accident. Made it home safe with sore bums!
