17 KM Scenic Route by Nanliao Beach

We rented two bikes by Nanliao Beach and off we went, Tyler riding behind Steve, and Byrdie rode in style in her "Pizza Box" with me on a 2nd bike.   The scenery varied from oceanside right on the boardwalk, to narrow path shaded by trees (mangrove?) on both sides, over a few bridges, and right by a canal.  There were a few parks along the way, so one the way back we took a long pit stop and got some 'baboo' (ice cream).  The cooler Mom got us came in handy and kept our water and little snacks nice and cool on the hot day!  

We didn't actually finish the 17 km (34 round trip) since we needed to head up to Taipei, so we our ride was about 20km in total.  Next time hopefully on a cooler day, we can do the whole ride.

Day at Nanliao Beach

We had a lovely weekend.  We went up to Taipei as usual and managed to run an errand or two, but the pace this weekend just didn't seem as frenetic. Whatever it was, taking the High Speed Rail?  Going on a Saturday instead of Sunday? Or not trying to hit too places?  I just found myself more relaxed than usual and enjoying it more.

Sunday at around sunset, we headed out to NanLiao Beach to the vista my friend showed me recently.  And this time it was with the whole family... Me, Steve, Tyler and Byrdie too.  Pictures are worth a thousand words--  take a look at the pictures I posted.  It really was a perfect end to a pretty fabulous weekend.
