we stayed at hualien for a night, and the place we stayed at is a 民宿，called 石头的家.the 老板娘 is super nice and 热情, and i realised that those pple who open 民宿 must be very hospitable, cos when they are hospitable and make tourists feel at home, they will then come and stay again, and also introduce the place to their friends.
me and darling also enjoyed our stay at 石头的家. the whole place is cosy, the room is beautiful, and we are really being looked after by the 老板娘. she told us that once we stay at her place, we are under her protection, and she has the duty and obligation to take good care of us. so she bring us to lots of places. she bring us to go buy hualien's local specialties, eat nice food, watch 原住民 dance performance, and also wanted to bring us to the night market, but sway sway the night market encounter power failure, and all the lights went off, the whole place is in pitch darkness.
at least pple can still make their way out of the night market, not like the poor souls on the flyer. haha. we knew that the flyer kenna power failure, because taiwan news got show, and the both of us were quite shocked, and we thanked our lucky stars that we din kenna this sort of thing when we were on the flyer that time.
stone house is called stone house, because the whole place is filled with stones. precious stones, normal stones, decorated stones. you name it, they have it. the 老板娘 will find big flat stones, and teach the tourists how to draw on these stones. then she will place the stones everywhere, such as on the wall or at any random place.
stone house got 2-pax rooms, 4-pax rooms and 6-pax rooms.
the room that we stayed at. the bed is damn cool, with the veil. so vintage and classic. haha.
the other rooms:
on that night, we go and 放孔明灯. the 老板娘 sell the 孔明灯 for NT200, around 10 sing. got 3 different colors, purple, red and yellow. but once u light up the lantern, watever color you buy the lantern will become orange. haha. its a first time experience for the both of us. the lantern got 4 sides, so every side must write some blessings. so one side is for darling's family, one side for my family, one side for both of us, and the last side is for stone house.
(that's the 老板娘)
the next day, we woke up at 6 am to catch the sunrise from our balcony, and we are so lucky to be able to see the sunrise! :)
we went to eat breakfast. although its not as 丰富 as the spring villa's breakfast, but its still quite delicious.
after breakfast, the 老板娘 bring us to the courtyard, and she let out the animals for us to play.
the 2 puppies are very very cute! they were only born a month ago. the brown one looks like a lion, and the black one looks like a bear. their names are called 团团圆圆. forgot which one is 团团, and which one is 圆圆. haha.
next time if i go hualien again, i will definitely stay at stone house. :)
