Our party consisted of Ben, Windy, little Elnorra, Ken, Lorie and our friend Leonard Pease. Both Ken and Leonard had international drivers licenses and Leonard was our “best boy” as he did most of the driving and all the translation for our vacation. We rented a VW Caravelle 8 seater van and borrowed a car seat for Elnorra from a friend and started our journey around the island of Taiwan. It was 2 pm by the time we were packed and ready to leave town and we drove to Taichung where we found cheap motel for $500 NT ($16USD) per room near the train station.
