Time to Explore Taiwan with Two Weeks Off

We rode the MRT to a Bicycle Park to rent bicycles
 and then ride on a 24 mile trail by the Danshuei River.
The map showed a "Rent Bike" sign!

We showed the map to a local Taiwanese man, and he said to walk along the trail for about 10 minutes to the Bike Rent.  We noticed a "Heart Theme" as we walked the trail.





The bike trail had some interesting scenery.


We saw one lonely fisherman with a large umbrella. He looked like he was planning on fishing for a while.




Even the Bird Cages had heart shaped holes.

After walking for 30 minutes or more; we stopped to ask of one the few people we saw on the trail, if they knew where the Bike Rent place was that was shown on the map. They did not speak English, but pointed in the same direction as we were headed.
Finally after walking for over an hour and still no Bike Rental in sight, we decided to head back to the MRT.  The two hour walk was good exercise for us, but with all the bicycles in Taiwan we thought we should ride a bicycle at least once before we go home.
