Wulai again

Yesterday we got on the bikes and did another trip down to Wulai. We had made an appointment with H and her boyfriend X in Xindian, and the plan was to go to Tonghou. Again. At 5.15 (!) I received an SMS from H saying it was raining in the area, from Xindian all the way down to Wulai. She knew, because bf had called to wake someone up and ask. After half an hour, H called and said it had stopped raining, so we jumped on the bikes and took off. We met H, X and one of their friends at the Xindian station at 8am, an hour later than originally planned. Half way to Wulai, it started raining again, but then we were already on the road, so who cares. We went all the way to Wulai where we had a cup of hot coffee and several Taiwanese snacks for second breakfast, then we went back. It wasn't very tempting to continue into the mountains with all the rain, and we had already lost time in the morning. Since both D and I were working later in the day, we decided to do Tonghou some other time. Technorati tags: Taiwan, Taipei, biking in Taiwan, biking in Taipei, biking, biking tours, cycling
