Greeeen Island :-)



Green Island is full of surprises. Morning with sunrise in hot spring and then excursion in prison. Afternoon in Taitung with flying balloons and delicious food. That's my day in two sentences.

Today we woke up on 4am to see a sun rise from hot springs. On 5AM we'd already been in hot spring with enthusiasm to see the sunrise. Before the sun showed up, it'd become almost a day. It has been very windy this morning, but when the sun showed up, everything went on the other site. It had been taking only a few minutes to get on the sky. This moment has been amazing. I think I've never seen the sunrise in my life. When the sun had showed up its beauty, we went closer to sea to enjoy the view and feel the smell of the sea.
In the night - or early morning..

Amazing place for sunrise..




Afters let's say some adventure.. we went to the Green Island prison. This prison is known due to political prisoners, who were kept here during the White War in Taiwan. This war didn't allowed to speak freely in public, so a lot of smart people were kept in prison, because they can influence others against the situation on Taiwan.

The view of freedom from the prison
We won't end here - but it's lovely place to observe..
We've seen some prisons' rooms, pictures of life in prison or the photography of people, who spent there some part of their life and at the end they became heroes. Very close to this place is also real prison right now, but the justice is different than during the war.

The view of the future


The only way how to drink a wather in the prison
On our way to prison was great to observe the nature and sea. The roads are on this island only around the coast, because in the centre are mountains.

After a while, we have had a delicious lunch in one restaurant, where you can enjoy the view to the sea during the lunch. Shrimps, deer, vegetable and rice – mňam! And as a desert, we’ve crossed the road and take amazing mango ice-cream. It looked like something unbelievable and taste sooo great!
Welcome and eat :-)
Who would like to have a bite?
THE boat
In the afternoon, we'd taken a boat home again. A lot of people were scared from the sea sickness, because the wind had been still very strong. We'd been at the beginning of the line, so we'd strategic place to sit - at the back. I'd put a headphones and tried to sleep. The sea was more calm than yesterday, so I'd really fallen asleep and the journey had been much better. As a celebration of successful arriving to Taitung, we've had a delicious ice-cream. I'd ordered coconut and papaya. Mmmm. Sweet afternoon could start.



sweet donut.. delicious
We'd gone to the hot-air ballon performance. We'd arrived on time. The first balloon had just fly to the sky. After a while there were about 10 hot-air balloons. A major of the city has started to count from 10 to 1 and the blowing the hot-air balloons had started. In a few minutes a hot air balloons were taking up to the sky and then down again to exchange the passengers.We'd made some pictures of jump and some crazy one. Later we ate a sweet donut, we'd bought before and we enjoyed the day.

Ready - steady - go!
Sky full of ballons
Funny pictures - so many ideas!
What's going on?

Ballons all around

Yeeaaah! Jump jump jump!
Strong Karen!
Almost good night for ballons..
After seeing balloons we went to had a beef noodles in a secret restaurant of Sean and Karren, than we went to aboriginal night market, had a dragon fruit and finished with coffee.
