Getting lost to Hell and Back

So my one and only favorite American , Hugo is a lonely Hare during my second Doulio Hash. And all this is happening in the beautiful and healthy district of Chiayi.

Chiayi Main Station

On my way to the Rear Station


I travel to Chiayi by train where I meet up with Hugo and a couple of Hashers at the rear of Chiayi station and we are all transported in the Hugomobile to the start of the hash at The Tropic of Cancer Astronomy Square.


The Hugomobile.

Tropic of Cancer Astronomy Square


Moooooon Rocket

All the Hashers line up and we soon realized there is only two runners...Me and Christine...Eish!
And what a trail it turned out to be, one of the healthiest runs I have ever been on.

 Almost
Walkers ready to go.

 The BRAVE!
 Leader of the two pack!
My running shadow.

Running on narrow paths through rice fields with a very unhappy lady in our red faces, bundu bashing through corn and banana fields and running next to beautiful veggie crops. Absolutely what the doctor orderd for this weekend!


 Gooi mielies!
 Astronomy landmark standing tall.
Watch your step...Watch your head!

 Lettuce, for a healthy salad...bring on the summer!
 Popeye's spinach.
 Ni Hao.


 Chives.
 Cherry Tomatoes
Cabbage Cabbage calling all Hashers.


Rice fields in all their glory.
Just keep your balance.
Now how can I explain getting lost?!
I probably 1) shouldn't be running with music 2) attend the crash course before the run for sign reading and 3) Make sure the Hare have enough chalk!
Somehow I missed a sign or 3 and even after backtracking, oh I don't know how many times and running in the same circle forever, no complaints though...I did come for a workout I decided to make myself back to the start following the public cycling and walkers trail. I even get to catch my breath at the railway crossing.
Welcome
Cyclist and walkers trail.

Catching my breath


There was a friendly lady selling fresh produce on the trail, she even tried to give me direction after passing her for the fith time...bless her the communication gap was just to big. 


WP jou lekker Ding!!

Penalty Shot!!

Awesome Hare Knocking it back!

Happy Hour at down downs

During down downs naturally I was nominated several times for getting lost....Ha...guess what? I loved it and I love beer!
A big thank you to Hugo for taking pictures.
I have to thank everyone for a great time in Chiayi and to our Hare for an awesome run, I enjoyed every second of my 1hour17min run.
I hope to see you all again SOON for my Third Hash!
Greetings
Mariza
