Last Sunday dad took Changton, mom and Yai Jee to the Fisherman Wharf near our shop in Danshui. The Fisherman Wharf was an important fishing harbor in the early history of north Taiwan. Nowadays, while there are still some local fishing activities, the Fisherman Wharf is better known for its weekend destination for Taipei people and tourists. Most of them are here for fresh seafood, boat ride, bicycle ride, and beautiful, romantic sunset on the Lover Bridge, what a name!
For us? We did none of it! Ha..ha...
We arrived around noon, too hot for doing anything fancy. Nevertheless, we had a great time, as long as we had Changton with us:-)
This is the Lover Bridge.
The boy looked out to the sea.
Walking down the Lover bridge, holding a girl's hand? Forget it! Letting dad dragged my pram down the bridge's steps is much more fun. I love the bumpy ride, yeah...yeah...
At the boardwalk.
We had lunch at another branch of Waterfront. This one is decorated in Mediterranean style, while the one we usually go in Danshui is in Balinese style.
Changton checked out the menu.
'Drinking-from-a-cup' lesson from Yai Jee
We didn't do what the Romans do when coming to the Fisherman Wharf. As for the food, we traded seafood for some German-inspired food including a German sausage salad with yummy, tangy balsamic dressing, and a crispy German pork leg..ha ha..
We ordered a creamy soup in a bread bowl for Changton, and for us too!
Changton was bored sitting on a high chair, mom took him to play in a vacant seating area. Changton tried to get some attention from the cat painted on a wall!
Changton had been so energetic since we left home in the morning until 2 pm, the time we left the Fisherman Wharf. Soon after we got inside the car, he fell asleep...so so deep!
This Sunday was Yai Jee's day off (that was why dad took all of us out...ha ha). When we got home, mom asked Yai Jee to go and get some rest. Rejuvenated, Changton asked mom to go out again! What??? Mom was so tired. But Changton kept bugging her. To have a fair go, mom took Changton to her favorite, Japanese coffee shop, Haaya's Coffee! It was a win-win situation though. This time round they had a big basket full of toys for Changton to play. Interestingly, the boy started up with a book--making his mama proud:)
The afternoon coffee set arrived. Changton shared some Chicken pie with mom, while the rest went down to mom's tummy. On the way to and from the coffee shop, mom made bubbles for Changton to catch, using a bubble gun. Changton liked it very much; he didn't want his mom to stop making bubbles. So a 5 minutes walk to the coffee shop took 15 mins, each way!!
Oh, what a day we had!
