Way to Greenisland~the first day

On 4/6, the first day of our journey to Greenisland. As cloudy and rainy as it can be in Taipei, the weather rarely affect our good mood. AM6:51, we got on the train bounding for Taitung, and started our six hours on the train. In Yi-Lan, it did'nt rain, and we could see the sun shining in the blue sky, and the sea twinkling due to the sun light. In Hua-Lien, we could see the real jungle instead of the concrete jungle. The farmland is all green with a few herons flying above the field.On 12:20, we arrived at Taitung station. The air was rather fresh, and I felt very comfortable when wandering around the beautiful station unhurriedly. Then, we got in a texi and bounded for the harbor where we were going to take the cruise ship to Greenisland. I was really fortunate that I didi't feel seasick on the ship, and also had a good time on it. On arriving Greenisland, it was crowded at the harbor, and it was raining! According to the residents, it rarely rains in Greenisland, and we were so "lucky" that it was raining. For we had no where to go at night due to the rain, we just played a crad game called "uno", and ended our first night in the plain B&B.
