We got a late start on the day, due to the late night hiking. We went to Wulai, which is famous for its waterfalls. We walked around on Wulai Old Street and had some food that was less than impressive (this seems to be a recurring thing at touristy areas).
We took a cable car from Wulai up some mountain. There was a large hotel on the otherside with huge grounds, which were not visible from the other end of the cable station. We were surprised to find so much stuff on the other side when we arrived. We had afternoon tea at the hotel. The waffles were the best waffles Jenn has ever had. Kyle had some fruity drink made from these small green citrus-looking things, and Jenn had an iced coffee while they enjoyed the view.
We walked the hotel grounds afterwards, and played around on a random obstacle course. When it started to get dark around 7 pm, we noticed that no one was really around anymore, so we went back to the cable car, which was supposed to run every 10 minutes until 10 pm. There was no one at the front desk or at the cable car, so Jenn called the hotel to see what was going on. The hotel transferred her to the cable car operator who insisted that he was standing at the station - but clearly, no one was there. It was like something out of a ghost movie.
Anyways, turned out the cable car guy we talked to was at the station down below and we had to press some random button on a pole on our side to get some dude in his wifebeater and slippers to come down and operate the cable car. Very interesting.
We stayed at a bed and breakfast-ish place in Wulai for the night, which had a huge tub for soaking in hot springs. Who knows if it was really hotspring water, but it was nice.
In the morning they brought us a yummy breakfast of sandwiches, kiwi, a sweet roll and some coffee.
