Day 7: Returning to Chaiyi and Night Market

Well today was quite a quiet day to be honest!! It started with a lie in! Yay! 8.30 wake up call but then 2 hours to get ready :). Packed up as I was leaving the host families house today so therefore back to having internet at the hotel! We went to the church that Marion and Melanie had been staying at and had to wait an hour because everyone was late so I sat watching the old women play a game which seemed to be a mixture of boules and croquet, was good fun actually! Next, we went to lunch which was at a local coffee shop and I had a bacon butty :D was very excited and also very yummy! They then took us back to Chaiyi and later took us out for a light bite to eat of chicken and rice before returning us back to our hotel. We unpacked and chilled out for an hour before being picked up to go to the night market. This was loads of fun :). We walked around all the stalls taking in the sights, sounds and smells. Could even of bought Millie a scarf but decided she would probably just eat it anyway lol! We had sme fine noodles which were very tasty, but won't stand too close to anyone tomorrow as they were coated very heavily in garlic!! I bought a ourse and resisted the urge to buy a handbag and a pair of shoes! :) Think I did quite well considering. We are now back in the hotel but not for long as we leave for Taipei in the morning at 9.20 (2.20am for all you back in England) where we will check into a new hotel for 2 nights which I'm sure will have internet so will speak to you all again tomorrow!
P.S thank you for all your nice comments, have made this trip a lot easier when missing home. I hadn't realised so many people were reading but can't work out how to comment back! lol.
