Nan Shih River

On our first river trip yesterday we were hosted by club 222, the local paddling club from Taipei. Arriving in the stifling heat and humidity after a lengthy flight it was good to dip our paddle into our first Taiwanese river. The river feels like something out of the the NZ west coast with big boulders jumbled into the bottom of extremely steep ravines. The reception by the local paddlers has exceeded expectation and been much appreciated. The food is mental from squid on a stick in the night market to snake's penis, we are doing our level best to explore all culinary options.
