A Trip to Taitung (B) -- 台東鹿鳴溫泉酒店，還有 . . .

#2011-1117

A trip to Taitung in November:
Part A: (11/14-15) Leaving for Taitung via Kaohsiung . . . .
Part B: (11/15-17) Staying and traveling in Taitung . . . .
Part C: (11/17-18) Returning home via Kaohsiung . . . .

Jean and I stayed at Luminous Hot Spring Resort Spa (鹿鳴溫泉酒店), in Taitung, for two nights. During the daytime, we visited Prof. Mai-Ney Kuo, a friend (also former classmate) of Jean's who teaches at National Taitung University (NTTU). Prof. Kuo is a music teacher, whose husband teaches fine arts at the same place -- Jhihben (Zhiben) Campus of the university. Both she and her husband came/come from Dajia, where Jean was born. No wonder Jean was so eager to go and meet her during our trip to Taitung.

Following Prof. Kuo's suggestion, Jean and I also visited Taitung Forest Park (台東森林公園). We had a pleasant walk in the park, while it was raining! . . . In fact, it rained most of the time when we were in Taitung. We didn't hate the rains; instead, walking in the rain made our visits to various places in Taitung more enjoyable (and unforgettable) than we had expected.

A Trip to Taitung (A) -- 先在澄清湖過一夜，然後 . . .

#2011-1115

十一月中旬　台東之行：
Ａ：11/14-15 先在澄清湖過一夜，然後 . . . . .
Ｂ：11/15-17 台東鹿鳴溫泉酒店，還有 . . . . .
Ｃ：11/17-18 在傻瓜天堂歇歇腳，不忘 . . . . .

很少開車遠遊的我，這回特地載著琴，遠征「台灣最後的樂土」---台東。原訂前後三日的行程，臨時延長為五天，以便能在高雄的「澄清湖青年活動中心」過一夜，然後才經由南迴公路前往目的地（台東）。如此一來，司機本人感覺輕鬆不少，而搭乘同車的「我的另一半」也比較放心；她不讓我太累啊！

在進駐「鹿鳴溫泉酒店」之前，我們還驅車前往「初鹿農場」參觀一番，那是我們多年前曾經來訪的地方。我們走著、看著，老天爺竟然下起雨來了。「將來我們一定會再來這裡的，」我們肯定地說：「下次要帶『小蜜蜂』一道來這兒，看可愛的動物、見識美麗的大草原。」
