Lavender Cottage

One of my old friends came to visit me and my other friend, Momo last weekend. She wanted to see the famous lavender cottage in 新社, so as good friends I and Momo couldn't let her down though actually we didn't know how to get there. We did some route searching on yam map and made notes in order not to get lost. However, after one and half hour, we finally arrived at lavender cottage by asking people directions. It was a long and kind of tiring journey; especially the mountain route, there were many big turns and the roads were uneven.

Each of us spent 100NT on tickets and one ticket had two purposes: 60NT for eating or drinking and 40NT for souvenirs. The food there was unacceptably expensive and the only thing that really deserved a try was the ice cream. The ice cream had five flavors: lavender, lemon grass, rose, blueberry yogurt and mint chocolate. I chose lavender and lemon grass for others seemed not so special and they tasted so good that I even wanted to eat more, which I didn't for the price was not low and it might be too much ice cream for my stomach to digest.

There happened to be a small Florence market and we bought some milk peanuts candy with lavender and gui hua flavor and a tiny lucky container filled with lavender and perfumed beans
as souvenirs. The lavender garden there was not big but delicate and there were also many kinds of different flowers beside lavenders; the scene was quite good.
