Taiwan 2023 Day 6

 


Last morning at Itathao

Last breakfast at the 旅店~

Took 小黄车 to 台中火车站~
The seat of the car puzzled me and gave me maggie lines on the back of my thighs
I swear it was almost like those dust-trapping welcome mat texture

Retrieved our tickets bought online from the ticketing machine

Walking about the station while waiting for the train to arrive

Cute pop-up at the side of the station

Sumikko Gurashi!

Bought a drink before rushing back up to the platform

The train was PACKED 
Thank god we purchased a seat

Crammed with our luggage

After literally dragging our luggage for about 20min along a very not luggage-friendly path
We finally made it to our 3rd and last hotel 新舍 located on the 30th floor
It was just one floor worth of hotel but they had quite a number of rooms
Good quality rooms, though it was really quite small, 
with not much room to walk after opening our luggage
The toilet needed us to climb 30cm up a step tho, someone please explain this 😂

View from the 30th floor~
This hotel knows how to sell its pros, created this common area with tables and chairs
with a good view!

Cute little potted plant at the window ledge

Going out for lunch after depositing our luggage!

The original eatery in our itinerary needed us to wait for about 15min
So hungry us went straight into Sushi Express right next to it.
No regrets, sushi express kinda gave me back-at-home vibes

Went back to the hotel to check in before heading straight to POYA
Shopping!
Tried to clear as much of our leftover TWD here.

Headed straight to the night market for dinner after POYA~

Clam and oysters~
Wouldn't say they're super fresh, and the whole shop smelled like a fish market

2 Happy people after buying one whole round of food from the night market!
The place was less than a 10min walk from our hotel!

Yumz! Loved the pineapple prawn, and the crab stew!
The Takoyaki was kind of a disappointment and lacked taste.
and it was a full tako, including the head. Couldn't bring myself to eat it.

Enjoying the nice view and the peace and quiet of the observatory area after dinner

 
Someone explain why the abrupt popup at the peaceful-looking observatory XD 
Not really complaining though, kinda cute

After stashing our steals from POYA, time to crash~
Good night~ We fell asleep after taking sips of plum wine and watching 蜡笔小新 movie
Couldn't believe the next day was our last day in TW!
