上山下海。二。三貂角燈塔。

September 2007

We certainly were well-prepared for this excursion! After breakfast, we had a good time with cute Hua. At about eleven o'clock, we waved goodbye to Hua's family and started over the trip. Next destination is Sandiao Cape Lighthouse.

這一回我們可是有備而來。吃過美味的活力早餐之後，跟小饅頭又玩了一回。午前時分，我們跟小饅頭一家人揮手說拜拜，重新啟程，前往今天的下一個目的地，三貂角燈塔。
　

三貂角燈塔。簡介。Sandiao Cape Lighthouse．Introduction


We left Sky Coffee and rode along the county freeway #106. Passing through "Ping-Shuang Tunnel", we were then running on a branch of freeway #2 and soon reached the main line of it. I felt like flying along the coast of Taiwan~

從天空咖啡出來，繼續沿著106縣道前行，過了平雙隧道，接上三角標公路2丙，途經貢寮，接上三角標2號公路，以近似飛翔的感覺奔馳在人車稀少的公路上~

The sky turned to be cloudy...isn't it just the beginning of autumn? How come the effect of monsoon is so obvious?! Running on freeway along coast, the wind of a slight salty smell blew me up and made me feel as if I were a kite flying against the current of air to the sky~

此時天色稍微轉陰。時序才入秋耶！沒想到東北季風的影響已經這麼明顯。馳騁在濱海公路上，帶有鹽味的海風從耳邊呼呼吹過，腦中閃過古人名句，好個「浩浩乎如馮虛御風，而不知其所止」啊！


小路。通往位於陡峭山壁前的觀景台。
The only way to the viewing platform


It's so strange! On our arrival at Sandiao Cape Lighthouse, except Michael, me and our motorbike V-Star, there was no other visitors! Here showed an extremely good field of vision~

不過老公當然不會不知其所止～我們此行的第二個目的地，三貂角燈塔，到了！好寬廣的視野！不過真奇怪，放眼望去，這裡除了老公、我、勝利小星、燈塔之外，沒有其他遊客耶！雖然頗有「飄飄乎如遺世獨立」之感，不過我可還沒做好「羽化而登仙」的準備。

Before we waved goodbye to the lighthouse, Michael asked me if I felt tired or not. He wished to ride along the coast to Yi-Lan and planned to return to Taipei by freeway #9. Wow~~ Of course I was very excited by Michael's idea! Go~go~go~Let's keep on riding for a blow~

離開三貂角燈塔前，老公問我累不累？如果不累，我們就繼續走濱海公路，到礁溪再接北宜公路回家，如何？哇～不累！不累！兜風可是我的最愛！當下重新啟程，繼續我們的公路飛行～


陪我們一路風塵僕僕的勝利小星。YAMAHA V-Star

We met the bullet train Taroko halfway and had a rush to chase it. Just a few seconds it ran so fast and disappeared from our eyesight.

走著走著，北迴鐵路濱海段出現了。巧遇前往花蓮的太魯閣號，不免跟它比畫了一下，不過只一下下，我們就被遠遠地拋在後頭，最後一節車廂就這樣自眼前消失。


大里天公廟。飛簷與藍天。
Dali Temple．Eaves Fly to the Blue Sky


Near the Dali railway station, there is a famous temple -- Tian-Gong Temple. It means the Master of Heaven in Chinese. We had a short stop here and prayed to GOD for father to make a complete recovery from cancer.

就在北迴鐵路濱海段大里車站附近，我看到香火鼎盛的大里天公廟，二話不說，停車到廟裡拜拜， 祈求天公賜福，助爸爸戰勝病魔。


飛簷像是迎天高舉的雙手。
Flying eaves look like Hands raising toward Sky


Today is a good day for excursion. No trunk, no traffic jams on the way! The weather though was cloudy, yet it did not rain. We met many motorbike riders halfway and waved hello to each other. What surprised me very much are those bicycle riders...to me, riding on freeway #9 is "mission impossible"! However, many bicycle riders were riding along freeway #9...Oh! My H~E~R~O~~

這一次飛行，運氣真不錯！不管北濱還是北宜公路，都沒遇盜恐怖的砂石車。沿路倒是遇到不少，或單槍匹馬，或三五成群的重型機車。最酷的是～我們在北宜公路上，遇到許多腳踏車騎士，臉不紅氣不喘地挑戰九彎十八拐～這這這真是太讓我崇拜啦！
