14 October 2006: Wonderful Saturday in Yeliu!

The weather was fine, and Francoise, Hisashi and I had decided that it was time to visit one of the most spectacular places in Taiwan--Yeliu（野柳）!

We took a 1-hour bus ride to Yeliu, which is located at one of the northernmost points of Taiwan (beyond Taipei). Thus we were able to see both the Taiwan Straits and the Pacific Ocean at the Yeliu Geopark by the sea. There was an aquarium too, but we had to forgo it due to time constraints. Much of Yeliu was seabed tens of thousands of years ago, and is now a plateau of unique rock formations by the sea. Both the seaview and evening view had been scenic and lovely, and Francoise claims that Yeliu is the best place that she has visited thus far! I have never seen both Francoise and Hisashi so happy before!

We indulged ourselves with a seafood feast at a nearby restaurant. Yummy!
