We haven't spent quite as much as we had anticipated in Taipei, mainly as the cost of living has been less than we thought and the accommodation has been more reasonable too. Forty notes a night in a large, modern capital is somewhat of a bargain and so we have a small overflow of readies.
We've been trying to work out the best way to get back to the airport and asked Reception exactly how much a taxi would be. They suggested that the hotel arrange a private car and while NT$ 1 100 is expensive (over £20) we're going to spoil ourselves.
Bearing in mind that we'd have to hike up to the tube station with our luggage in the rain, get the tube to the mainline train station and then locate a bus to take us almost an hour's drive away (not forgetting we'd be in Friday's main rush hour), it doesn't sound too bad.
So why not?
