On Wednesday, July 29, Leona and I took the scooter to the Taiwan rail to the HSR to meet her cousin and aunt and go to E-Da Resort outside of Kaohsiung for a night. The room was only $100; the transportation there and back and the lunch and dinner cost more than the room.
Upon arrival at the E-Da Royal Hotel, we walked a long
shopping arcade because the driver didn’t announce the hotel stop we missed but we made the best of it me buying a pair of dark Puma sunglasses and a picture frame
for an Audrey Hepburn pose we have at home. The hotel room was wonderful at a five-star hotel, but there were a lot of families and teenagers there to take
advantage of free admission to the nearby amusement park thanks to the government's post-COVID-19 stimulus plan.
The pool was filled with family and unsuitable for lap
swimming but the foot massage was wonderful while Leona did some treadmill in
the hotel gym. I found the bar by accident on the way back to our room and had
three 6cc shots of rum and told Leona where I was when she asked; she met me
there, had a mojito, and her aunt and cousin went too. We went to some shops
and found a little trash can in Daiso with Coney Island, Kings Highway, etc.
BMT subway stop names around it. Afterwards we took the eighteen minute
air-conditioned Ferris wheel and walked the “flea market” getting Uzbek
pastries, beef jerky, a $8 Dodger cap knock-off, and a cute clay cat calendar
display from Japan. It was after then that the ladies chose to go to Le Ble
D’Or for a snack; I wanted more, and the rest is recent history.
Our dinner at Le Ble D’Or was going to be small because our small Thai lunch was too big; Leona was going to pass up the tuna millennium and short ribs because they weren’t that hungry, nor was I, but I had to almost order it myself after politely suggesting, a few times.
We got back from Kaohsiung at 7:30 last evening from a trip that had everything but swimming and intimacy.
