good morning so we decided to camp out next to the free hot spring over here
and uh starting at like four o'clock in the morning people start coming this way
yeah after we uh we came down here yesterday we took a bath bathed in the river
we went down to the uh the town had some dinner everything was kind of closed
up though it wasn't much open you know we just came back here set up the tent
this is it probably could have picked a flatter spot I think we picked a
flattest spot out here but we're still kind of on a slight
slope there's some rocks right here but we actually slept pretty good
kind of like a bagel does it taste like a bagel the texture is just like a bagel
really I haven't had a brioche before so I don't know
it's like a very dense brioche it's actually not so bad a
brioche I don't know what that is French I've been to France
alrighty so I need some water and in one of my last videos one of you awesome people commented
and said when you're cycling around Taiwan you can get free water sorry that's probably
pretty noisy you can get free water at temples libraries and even police stations and so I'm here
at a police station and uh I'm gonna go see if that is true they can fill me up with some water
hello
do you have water over here all right thank you
smells like a swimming pool in here, and sure enough they have water
it smells like a pool in here uh-huh there's any thank you
all right so whoever told me that I appreciate it because I would have just gone to Family Mart and
probably bought a big water and put it in here and that's that is a big No-No let's get on the road
oh my God we bikes in front of this ladies store and she's like I want to open it
let's see what little fruit vendor is selling what's up
oh for some bananas
I like you like you how much for lychee if I do 110. 110.
it's not cheap here
how much would that be that bag
a hundred for a kg okay it was only 79 and actually
we got some grapes apples limes oranges bananas guava passion fruit yeah passion fruit
mangoes watermelon plums
nice and steady incline
can't beat that view though
a good thing that uh Vanessa speaks Mandarin
thank you because this road that we came up yesterday they were doing construction on
and uh this is the only way down
all right
look at the size of that
so uh we're back at the place we had lunch yesterday
we want to come eat some dessert but it's entirely it's too early it's only 9 50.
but Vanessa got some figs some dried figs yeah yeah
I've only had Fig Newtons before in America, never the real thing pretty good
we're just out doing a little jalan jalan(walking) see if there's anything else out here uh oh
wow okay
hello the donuts look amazing but whatever she's making
she got a lot of good stuff up here I'll do some uh donut holes small donuts yes
yeah yeah can I do small small yes please how many okay
Sesame balls
everything she's making here looks delicious
let's try these uh donut holes
uh-huh
there's like an awesome homemade donut hole with a bunch of sugar on it yeah
so uh we're in a beautiful little town called Shiding
we finally left Taipei for uh the second time and uh time to try another police office we're gonna
try to get some more water the guard cap hello can you get some water
thank you so much nice
so friendly right back to the kitchen the staff area, perfect
all right so we are trying to find a place to camp after hanging out and shading for a little while
uh we looked up some trails that were along the river right here and well nothing has been too
promising it so we're actually heading back towards the town we went up a little ways of
it nothing so we're heading back down Vanessa says she found something promising so fingers crossed
hmm not to have much luck we thought maybe we could do it here but
there's just not enough space to put a tent
I mean it'd be nice to be this close to the river we could cool off and bathe
promising there's got to be something along the river here
you go all the ways
we're back to pushing we are back to pushing
so our plan of finding a place and chilling out and uh cooking and doing all that before
the sun goes down I don't think it's probably gonna happen couldn't find a spot
but uh we're only 400 meters away from
a campsite well Google says it's a campsite I don't know if it is or not
Let's uh Let's cross our fingers hopefully it is and it says we are arriving at the campsite really
want to see our amazing campsite well you're looking at it this is it uh
well uh I don't know, we're gonna post up here for tonight kind of exhausted it's really not
much else we can do we got some delicious mangoes we got some food from earlier which is good and so
yeah we're just gonna call it a night here and uh see what tomorrow brings I don't know
but for now we got delicious mangoes and that's all that matters it's good
to be hungry we wash the tomato I don't know about the cutting board or tonight
yeah and let me show you what we're having for dinner
the best looking pico de gallo in all of Taiwan I'm sure look at that so simple
onions tomatoes cilantro we didn't get any jalapenos we should have they were selling a
whole plate of them for 50 NT which is like a dollar fifty I bet it's like one kilogram too
and all we needed were two or three but we passed on it but we got some other peppers
for basically the same price couldn't get tortilla
chips but we got some uh they're called soda crackers I don't know
many soda crackers they work but it's pretty damn good
I'm here that's so good
want some pico de galo?
thank you
