Flowing up.~

We met up with Joey's uncle again the next day and headed out further south. To get back to the seaside we had to drive through 27km of winding mountain roads. It's so scary to drive here!

We stopped part way at this huge river. Apparently people white water raft down and about 200 people stop here every day! We built a little inucshuck =)

After what felt like forever, we reached the coastline again. Our first stop was at a small bat cave with this gorgeous outlook.

We walked a little ways into the cave and climbed into a little boat. The tour guide said that the water was 2 stories deep and there were eels! Joey was brave enough to look under. The water which drips down from the roof of the cave is drank unfiltered during festivals by the aboriginals of this portion of Taiwan.

This particular section of the cave had about 100-200 bats in it. Apparently if a bat poops on you its good luck.. still I was pleased that I wasn't pooped on. The tour guide said that they have no idea how the bats fly into the cave (they have never seen any go through the main entrance) There were other sections of the cave but you would have to scuba dive under the walls so that just adds to the confusion.

Our next stop along the cost was a major tourist spot. This big rock marks the line of cancer.

After a little while we made it to Lingyan Cave, which I must mention roughly translates to "A woman's vagina" .. this turned out to be extremely exciting and hilarious for Joey and his uncle.

Keeping to the "amusing theme" we must have driven back and forth through country rodes for about 20min to find this. Its true name translates to "Umbrella Rock" but Joey's uncle wanted to show Joey how it looked like a fuzzy testicle. I'm so glad I couldn't understand a word they said!

Believe it or not, the water at this place flows up!!! It was like it was defying the laws of gravity. It took about 10min of stairing at the water to figure out how it worked. Any ideas of how water can flow up a hill?

This Place really made my day. Apparntly one of the most popular tourists sites in the southern part of Taiwan are the "cow farms"! They even had gifts shops! I'm so happy knowing that people pay to go stand at the top of this tower and watch cows.
After spending some time drinking tea (people here are so nice!-- The lady at the tea shop gave me some containers of real tea to bring back to canada) we cought the last 4 hour train back to Taipei.
