Weekend @ Southern Ridges

Spend my Saturday morning with my 2 dear pals, xiao Jiamin and da Jiamin (Collectively known as "the Jiamins") at the Southern Ridges. Xiao Jiamin got a scolding from me for wearing the wrong attire for the walk. She was in jeans and ballet flats... for god sake. Geared up in her most "touristy" attire - Sunglasses and hat, perhaps just lacking a camera that hangs round her neck to complete the look.

We started off by climbing a neverending flight of stairs at the Marang Trail. While people who passed us were heading down the stairs and we were going upwards, da Jiamin and me were wondering if we have started at the correct place. Despite the fact that da Jiamin and me were both "Alishan-trained", this Marang Trail was enough to kill us.

But the journey up there was made easy by all those nonsensical jokes that we made. Finally we have reached Mt Faber Park! Nice scenery, love the breeze... However, I still love the night scenery at Mt Faber Park. :)

Reminiscing the cable car rides we had many years ago...

Next up to Henderson Waves. Thanks to NParks signboard and inconsistency with their direction marking on the floor. We made a big round before we made it to Henderson Waves. And we should have listen to the uncle's advice.
