Wet

Woke this morning refreshed after a good night's sleep.  It must have been the result of the steady drone from the air-conditioning unit!

Looked out the window and unsurprisingly it was raining.  I went for a local walk shortly before noon.  There wasn't much to see.

Entrance to the port

You might wonder if I'd stumbled upon an aquarium shop.

It's actually one of three large restaurants on the road adjacent to my motel.   These guys are on the menu.

There would have been half a dozen large tour buses stopped in the street disgorging mainland Chinese tourists.   Obviously they like seafood.

The third restaurant in a row

I was also hungry.  However I wasn't about to enter a restaurant full of mainland Chinese.  Culturally they are incredibly noisy.

On the corner was a 7-Eleven and I resigned myself to another zapped meal.

Pasta with ham and three cheeses sauce.

The 7-Eleven's do sell hot food.

Hot dog machine.  I've eaten them and they are OK.

Sweet Potato.  They seem quite popular but I find the taste bland.

Eggs boiled in tea.  Know as 'Tea Eggs'.  To me they taste like a brown coloured boiled egg.

I was hoping tomorrows weather forecast would be dry.  Unfortunately not!  I've resigned myself to the idea I'm going to get wet from the sky along with being sprayed with dirty water from passing traffic.   It's also going to be a long wet day of cycling as I plan on reaching Jiufen.
