A walk in the hills

We joined some of Angela's work colleagues for a short hike up on Yangmingshan Mountain, which is just behind our house in Jinshan, but quite a trek up, so this was the first time we had explored there. Took the lazy bus to the ridge and then walked through buffalo country and mossy woods. It was a fine dry day, which was lucky since the mountain holds rainclouds like the Cuillin.

Most of the trail was wooded, so when we arrived at the road end, we were glad to find an ice-smoothie stall (with locally grown "tree-tomatoes" and very cute kittens). We walked down hill to find a bus back into town, and then went directly off to the climbing wall. Are we hardcore or what?
