Again breakfast on the rooftop, today lots of fruit so very healthy. Catriona had some school work to do so we went out with Jørgen who wanted to take us to another town in the new territories; Tai Po.
We walked around a huge, clean, shiny shopping centre (eating, drinking and smoking are not allowed!) Even on the buses and trains everything is gleaming and so clean. No chewing gum or spit on the floors in this country.
Some of the electrical products are more expensive than at home.
Jørgen took us for a meal in a sushi restaurant and then we bought fruit in the market before making our way back to Taiwan village.
We headed off to Bob and Yvonne Stearns house in Tsam Chuk Wan by taxi. What a beautiful home they have. Bob is the secondary school principal of Renaissance College and Yvonne works alongside Catriona in year 2. Both Bob and Yvonne started in Dresden at the same time as Catriona. Yvonne was the librarian in Dresden International School.
After a warm welcome from Pfoten the resident beagle we enjoyed a short tour of Bob and Yvonne’s home. Yvonne had made a beautiful vegetarian risotto followed by biscuits and cheese and peaches with delicious home made custard.
From Bob and Yvonnes home we had a view of a fishing point and also of the hill where Catriona broke her leg last year.
After a most enjoyable evening in the company of Bob, Yvonne and Pfoten we were driven home by Bob whilst Pfoten navigated from Jørgen’s lap on the front seat of Bob’s car.
