It's interesting to have seasons. It's also interesting that now we can dig out our winter jackets again.
What's not so interesting is the feeling of being cold. I had a pre-taste.
Went for a weekend getaway with Emily & Ghee Hwee at the Green Island. It was hot and balmy when we left on Friday - felt like 30degrees in the day. So all I packed was a cardigan. Winter arrived somewhere between dive no. 2 and dive no. 3 ; between Saturday late afternoon and Sunday morning.
Water temperature on Saturday was 27-28degrees C ; Sunday was 25-26degrees C.
The sudden cold front brought with it high waves... The ferry ride out of Green Island made me sick enough to barf. So much for the big lunch I had :(
Blues drove all the way from Taitung back to Taipei. We stopped at Hualien for dinner - ate a big meal again, then started to wind through the mountains. I felt sick all over again.
Yeah, it was a fun weekend all in. I still feel slightly queasy but it'll pass... or so I hope.
PS I need a thicker wetsuit.. my 2.5mm wetsuit is suitable only for Singapore/Malaysian waters.
