Taiwan Day 2

Yes, we're now into Day 2.
.
We woke up early to wash up and eat breakfast as we're required to reach the rail station's platform by 8.30am sharp.
.

.T
So in two and a half hours time, we found ourselves at the Hualien Train Station, greeted by some wet weather upon arrival.
.

.
We were transferred to our 'minsu' by the owner herself hence the transit was pretty seamless and efficient due to the fact that the minsu is located near the train station.
.
We left all our luggages at the 'minsu' and left for a bite at the nearby famous dumpling and bun shop while waiting for our rooms.
.

.
After our lunch, we browsed around the shops along the same street and brought some stuffs before returning to the minsu.
.
The travellers took a few hours afternoon nap after shower; the fact that the past 2 days travelling has taken a little toll on us hence the arrival day into Hualien had tire us.
.
With no plans made on Sunday evening itself, it's F&E and self walking around the Hualien City district that evening.
.
VERY Thankful to the local recommendation; we made our way out to the road and discovered some worthy food sold in Hualien like:
.

.
We found the delicious Fried Oyster and fresh clam soup; the fried oyster is really soft and yummy while the clams are very fresh.
.

.
For dessert, we found crushed ice filled with milk and black sugar syrup along with their yam glutinous mini-rice balls
.

.
I tell you, the desserts were yum yum!
.
.
Dear son was served a scoop of vanilla ice-cream while both of us adults shared the other dessert. After our fill, we returned to settle for the next day as we've planned for the children to play to their hearts content!
