Unfortunately, no monkeys on day 5.
But by this day of the tour I was pretty much done. I was exhausted from the entire journey and the let-down of not getting to see the east coast because of the typhoon put a slight damper on everything.
The morning of day 5 started with Samson showing us the news and footage of damage done to the east coast from the typhoon that we would have been in if we wouldn't have turned around! Crazy!
So before we headed back to Taipei we stopped at a few small sites to see some interesting things, especially some cool architecture of temples and such.
We first stopped at a mini-temple which had some cool things and even cooler surroundings outside.
I love the design of whatever it is above.
(blurry picture but the tree was so cool)
We then went to a really cool looking building (I believe it was where the Dutch leaders lived when the Dutch used to own Taiwan a billion years ago...or something to that effect) that reminded me entirely of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland.
It's definitely Haunted Mansion-y.
Millions of fish in this pond.
Tablets with Chinese memorials written on them.
After the Haunted Mansion it was time to go home.
It was a five hour bus ride back to Taipei (and I went a little crazy near the end of it...) but it was all worth it because the entire trip was great.

Once I got home I was so tired and sleepy.
And those (the last 5 posts) were all the highlights of the tour. Thanks for following along the tour of my tour. Overall the entire trip was epic and grandiose. Taiwan is awesome. It was a bummer that the east coast didn't happen but I'll just have to plan another trip to go see it soon.
Typhoon-less.
