Singing in the rain

Not much sleep then out for a traditional Taiwanese breakfast on the run. We went hiking in Tarko National Park where the scenery was breath taking. Jimmy our tour guide slash rotarian is unbelievable. After a career as an air traffic controller he takes up being a tour guide. He has even guided president Mai, he seems to know as much about our country as his own. Anyway, extreme cliffs and amazing trip. We then headed back to the city for a farewell lunch at the district conference, Met so many of our new friends again we hope to see soon. Quick change again out of formal wear then a 30km bike ride along the Meilo rive and then along the Pacific Ocean coast line. They have miles of bike paths that are so inviting to use, We stop at a cafe for a coffee and run into Alex's host from a week ago who was in the area on business. He finds out we are meeting up for karaoke at a hosts house tonight so he cancels his plane ticket and rebooks for tomorrow morning so he can join us. Unbelievable friendly people who go out of their way to make you feel special. Yesterday when the team entered the district conference we were greeted by 2-4000 people clapping and giving us high fives as we walked the red carpet, I cant tell you how amazing that was.
