January 19th, 2021. The one where the man falls out of the tree. Today’s walk was exciting in two respects, firstly, we didn’t start from DaDaoCheng and secondly, we were heading to one of our ‘must visit’ destinations. We were also fortunate to have all three of us together and to be joined once againContinue reading “Day 6: BaiShaWan to the Eighteen Wang Gong Temple白沙灣到 乾華十八王公廟”

Day 5: DaDaoCheng to Bali 大稻埕到八里
Day 5: January 12, 2021 The one with the Murder Cafe. After a pleasant, if chilly walk last week, we were fortunate to find a break, firstly in our communal diaries, but more importantly in the weather, that allowed us to explore the south side of the Tamsui River with a walk from Dadaocheng WharfContinue reading “Day 5: DaDaoCheng to Bali 大稻埕到八里”
Day Four QianShuiWan to BaiShaWan 淺水灣到白沙灣
Day 4: January 4th, 2021. The one with all the Dogs.

We then took a taxi toContinue reading “Day Four QianShuiWan to BaiShaWan 淺水灣到白沙灣”
Day 3: DaDaoCheng to Muzha 大稻埕到木栅
DECEMBER 4, 2020 The one with a lot of riverside statues.

Day 2: QianShuiWan to Tamsui 淺水灣到淡水
November 4th, 2020. The one with the Wedding Photographers. Day 2 of our odyssey started as we met up outside Tamsui Station around 1pm. A somewhat inauspicious start as Uber decided not to cooperate with Elaine’s iPhone but fortunately there were taxis aplenty and we were soon on our way to Qianshuiwan. We had optedContinue reading “Day 2: QianShuiWan to Tamsui 淺水灣到淡水”
Day 1: DaDaoCheng to Tamsui 大稻埕到淡水
Day 1 October 28th, 2020. The one where we start. DaDaoCheng was a hive of activity when we arrived, with a fire rescue drill taking place at the same time that hundreds of school children were setting off on a bike ride. At 10:45 we took our first group picture in front of the DaDaoChengContinue reading “Day 1: DaDaoCheng to Tamsui 大稻埕到淡水”
