We made it to Tainan

We are now in Tainan!

While in Taipei we stayed at a nice hotel very near the airport. It was not over crowded ut maye that's because we arrived so late at night. I could not figure out how to call the hotel for the free shuttle...the line was always busy...so we took a 4 min. taxi ride.
After we checked out of that hotel we took a taxi to the Fullon Hotel in Taipei. This is the hotel we will be staying at after we return to Taipei with Joy. We dropped off one bag of luggage so that we would not need to carry all of our luggage to Tainan.
We then went to eat at the famouse dumpling resturant in Taipei. Grace did very well and the food was good. It did not look like much from the outside but inside was nice and the service was really good.
Right after lunch we hailed a taxi to take us to the high speed train station in Taipei. This train would take us to out present location in Tainan. It was a very cfortale 1 and 45 min ride Grace got a little cranky but maye that's because she was tired.
The cab ride took about 30 min. and cost about $350 in Taiwan money. I am not sure if we got ripped off because other cab rides of equal ot longer distance did not seem to cost as much. Oh, well.
So much for rain. It is hot and humid here although it looks like it will rain aybe tomorrow.
The hotel we are at in Tainan is beautiful. We are not used to this kind of service. Our roo is on the executive floor and I a using a coputer in their Horizon Club. I feel under dressed and totally unworthy of this kind of treatment :)
The room is very nice. We forgot to bring diapers for Grace...we left them in Taipei. When I asked the hotel where I could buy some they had someone send them up to our room...wild!

Anyway, tomorrow is a "free" day. The last day we will be a family of 3. We will site-see a bit. This is Joy's home town, or at least very close to it, so we want to take any photos and bring home some items for her when she gets older as well.

That's all for now. See you soon Joy!
