Taiwan April 2017 Day 9

Taiwan April 2017 Day 9 (10th Apr)

Today is the last day we have the car. We have to drive back to Taoyuan International Airport, Departure Terminal 1 to return the car. We have plenty of time. But there was not much to see on the west coast of Taiwan.

We had a lazy morning, do our time alone with God, Mat did his homework and the boys feed fish at the lake. We left around 10am.

It was an easy drive as compared to the drive on the previous day. The highway allows the speed to reach 110km/hr but of course there are toll charges, but not much as compared to Singapore ERP.

We drove to Gaomei, to revisit the wind farm near Taichung port. But because of the tide, the site was close until 1300. We left the place and target to reach 大溪near Taoyuan. It turned out that the boys do not really like old street.






We returned the car, took a bus to Taipei. It was then I realized that there is MRT from the airport to Taipei Main Station. It will take 30 min and cost 160NT per person. Bus will take 1 hr and cost around 130 to 150NT.

The Lord has blessed us with incidents and accidents free during the 9 days of car rental. It is very troublesome and in order to claim insurance in an accident, you have to wait and make a police report. Wait for the police to come and file the report. I bought insurance too that in case of a claim, the first 15000NT you have to pay. This can be claimed by insurance.







We found our accommodation. It was a vast difference from the outside and from the inside. It was a cultural difference for the boys who used to live in clean and tidy environment. We stay in an accommodation behind the blocks and you have to walk into small alleys.
