The busses for the shore excursions were waiting.


Wir legen direkt vor dem Gebäude der Hafenverwaltung an.


If you booked a private tour or transfer: the best would be to meet at the port administration.


Es gibt noch zwei weitere Tore. Aber u. U. wird man direkt zur Hafenverwaltung geschickt und nicht rausgelassen.






You could get some information in the port administration.


Ein paar Einrichtungen.


You also have an ATM inside.


Und ein kleiner Laden.


If you want to do something good without spending any money: just drop your receipt into this box. To stop black market the Ministry of Finance runs a lottery and all receipts are lottery tickets. Here they collect the tickets for welfare purposes.


Hier bekomme ich noch eine Flasche mit dem Riesen-Entchen des niederländischen Künstlers Florentijn Hofman. Es schwamm zuletzt im Hafen von Keelung und ist leider Silvester geplatzt.


Here you can see how it bursted. So sad that I cannot see it anymore here by myself.

Vor dem Gebäude werden Taxitouren angeboten.


We waited here for the vehicles we booked.


So nutze ich die Wartezeit, um das Schiff zu fotografieren.

Again overslept... We had luck that we did not have a common tour. So it was not too bad that they slept longer again.


Wir müssen wieder erst 20.45 Uhr zurück sein. Die Crew 15 Minuten früher. Bei anderen Gesellschaften muss die Crew 30 Minuten vor den Passagieren zurück sein.


Bruno and Marianne have not been in Taipei before.


Mit uns kommen Alfred und Ursula sowie Nicole, Uwe, Jacqueline und Michelle.


So we had Alfred and Ursula with us and furthermore Nicole, Uwe, Jacqueline and Michelle.
I was surprised that there were no checks that we get very quickly to the terminal building.


Hier warten wir auf unsere Fahrzeuge.


As we had originally total different plans we booked two limousines with Hotai Motors. I booked two English-speaking drivers but both were hardly able to speak.


Durch die Straßen der 400.000-Einwohnerstadt geht es raus.






We were a nice group and liked each other.


Aufgrund eines Missverständnisses fahren wir zunächst nach Yehliu Geopark, das sich in der Nähe von Keelung befindet. Meine Erinnerungen an meinen Großvater enden hier. Ich kann mich eben noch daran erinnern, dass er mit mir hier war, um mir das zu zeigen. Bekannt ist der Park wegen der Felsformation, die an die Form der ägyptischen Königin Nofretete erinnert, deren Büste auf der Museumsinsel in Berlin ausgestellt ist. Leider hat es nicht nur einen Teil meiner Familie erwischt, sondern hat auch bei unseren neuen Freunde aus Paderborn zugeschlagen. So waren wir froh, dass wir zwei Fahrzeuge hatten, so dass der große Teil der Gruppe zum Geopark fahren konnte und das kleine Fahrzeug zwei wieder zurück zum Schiff brachten. Vor dem Geopark wird Seetang zum Trocknen durch die Sonne auf dem Boden ausgelegt:


Due to a misunderstanding we went first to Yehliu Geopark, which is close to Keelung. My memories with my Grandfather terminates here. I can remember that he was here to show me everything. The park is famous for the rock formation which reminded to Egyptian Queen Nofretete. You can find her bust on Berlin's Museums' Island. Unfortunately not just my family was caught by sickness but also our new friends from Paderborn, Germany. So we were quite happy to have two verhicles with us so the majority could already go for the geo park and the small vehicle could take two back to the ship. In front of the geo park they palced seeweed on the floor to dry in the sun.
You get from one side in and normally you leave the park from another side.


Gegenüber sind viele Verkaufsstände aufgebaut. Und es war voll. Viele Schüler- und Touristengruppen waren hier. Später erfahren wir, dass meine Rest-Familie ebenfalls hier war, weil es gegenüber eine Delphin-Show gab.


The admission was 80 TWD (2014) per person. Before we returned to the ship with the small vehicle the driver of the Volkswagen van was so kind to ask for some Taiwan Dollar that he could buy the tickets for them.


Sie laufen durch den Park den Massen hinterher.

I did not walked in because the lines in front of the ticket booths were too long. But I called them to tell them to find "Nofretete" inside close to the seaside.


Aber sie wurde zwischenzeitlich umplatziert und in den Park versetzt.


That was like I remembered her from my childhood, when "Nofretete" was located right on the beach.


Nach dem sie wieder draußen fahren, führe ich sie durch die Verkaufsstände und erkläre ihnen ein paar von den chinesischen Spezialitäten.


Dried seafood.


Leckeres chinesisches Essen.


Here they barbaqued the fish and pushed it later through the roll to make it flat.
