A day off officially, that started late with a leisurely breakfast after the excitement of conference had subsided.For a relaxing start it was nice to go a walking tour of an open space park area, Tainan City Park. Families appeared to be enjoying BBQ’s, badminton and walking their dogs. Much fun was being had by all.
A quick tour of some of the Tainan shopping district was the next stop, specifically electrical items and toys.
After a return to the hotel Jeremy a Rotarian from Yun Lin had come down to visit and take us on a quick city tour. We started at a very large bookstore followed by lunch at Starbucks. A quick (nearly 2hr detour) occurred when Brad found a baseball batting practise area and the boys went to town. Starting with gentle looping softballs and graduating to 130km/h fastballs, to a bit of pitching and some basketball, the boy’s competitive spirit was released.
Onwards to a very large department store where dreams were made and stayed, after looking at the price tags. A quick dash (in the wrong direction to start) back to the hotel, for the standard 10mins to get dressed, look pretty and get out the door for dinner.
The lovely ladies from the Tainan Phoenix club were our gracious hosts for dinner. Another 11 courses of stunning food from chicken to seafood was served. After the obligatory photo and banner exchange the team returned to the hotel for an early night.
All are very excited about the week ahead, with only 5 days to go.
