CNY2017: 2nd Day

Dear Pipsqueaks,

Another early wake just to meet up with my mom's side at granny's place 7am sharp. Of course, that was such an unlikely time for us since we were easily 45mins away, so we had to wake up at 5.45am. Urgh. Let's not forget that I slept around 2am...

But so, we forced ourselves out of bed to leave the house at 6.15, and picked up my favourite "fantuan" - which literally translates to rice ball. It comes in both savoury and sweet, but I always prefer sweet. With a cup of hot milk tea...yum!

Then, we spent the next 4 hours on the road driving to the very south tip of Taiwan. I don't remember it being such a long time, but I did sleep most of the way...

After a delicious lunch, 20mins on the ferry and 10mins scooter, we arrived at our stay for the next 3 nights. Honestly too tired to head out but we couldn't miss the sunset, so we rode out to the well known viewpoint to wait for the sunset.

Sunsets are always beautiful. Now, going to play some dice with the family!

PS. The 2nd day of Chinese New Year is when the daughters return to their home to spend some time with their family. This is when grandma is most happy =)
