Here's the rest of the weekend.

From our hotel Lee, Josh and I walked down to the beach and watched the waves roll in.

We drove up the coast toward Hualien and found this bridge to an outlying island.

It's called the Dragon Bridge of the Three Immortals and was spectacular. The waves were impressive, the rocks formations were fascinating and the views were stunning. We crossed the bridge and walked around the island and found that the crowds prefer to stop partway across the bridge. You can't tell from this photo but it was pretty crowded. Lots of tour buses but also the infrastructure that goes with that - lots of bathrooms, vendors and food stalls. So after our walk we got a pit stop and ice cream cones.

For food we found a pizza place for lunch that was quite tasty. I had the "purple rain" with blue cheese, purple onions and artichokes - delicious! Dinner was at a funky little fusion Japanese/Taiwanese cafe/bar next to the sugar factory that's been converted into a sort-of artists' space in Dulan. Dulan is a quiet little surfing town that's quite the little gem. Well worth another visit if we can manage it.
