To Taipei

Australia to Taipei via Hong Kong was nicely managed thanks to Patrick and Amanda taking us to Sydney the night before and Robyn and Ian allowing us to stay the night in Sydney.
Robyn drove us to the airport at 7 and the check in took a matter of minutes, was simple and stress free.

We had a few hours to fill in and then we were off.

Beautiful weather, easy flight and touch down at Hong Kong for a transfer to the Taipei flight. All easy, pleasant and a tribute to Asian efficiency and helpfulness.

We reached Taiwan  at 8 at night and caught a bus to the street near our accommodation. Tried to walk but ended up catching a taxi  -  in the end an excellent decision.

Taipei is interesting, not too crowded, friendly and helpful and easy to get around.
Everyone works in with everyone and even though the city is busy I have not seen or heard a word or noise in anger, frustration or aggression.

Accommodation is pleasant and clean (don't drink the water) and reasonably priced.
We walked for hours today and caught a few taxis to sort out techno problems that were solved by two young Apple assistants who spoke English.
