Day 13 Sat 13/10 - First Full Rest Day in Da Tou Mu Hotel


Today Distance : 10.0 km
Today's Temp : 20  - 27 C sunny
Today's Spending : NTD 1231
Total Spending  : NTD 7699

We needed a full day rest,so decided to stay for another day in this 4-star hotel. As today is Sat, the price of our room went up with extra NTD 300 compared yesterday to NTD 2000.It has been tough non stop riding since we set out on 4th Oct. So this rest day is just what we wanted most despite of the very pricey room rate.We took the opportunity to clean up our bikes in the large compound of the hotel. I cycled out to Puli town which is about 5 km while Tony preferred to hang out in the 7-11 to enjoy the free wifi. I got my bike tuned up and lubed for free in the Giant bike shop where we bought our stuffs yesterday.The hotel rooms were fully booked today by the local families,karaoka and bbq until late night.For dinner, we took a long walk of 2.5 km to the 7-11 and back to the hotel.Tomorrow, we will be heading to another touristic spot Sun Moon Lake which is about 20 over km away.

Bought new disc brake pads and replaced NTD 250

Had our bikes clean and lube

My lunch at 7-11
