DAY ONE: A bit of irony, I suppose, that the last picture I post on this page is one of the very first ones that I took. On my first day in Kinmen, after dropping my bags off at my hotel in Shanwai, I walked east and north. I went up the highest mountain, Taiwu, and then down through the countryside until I reached Shamei tired and hungry. From there I took a bus up to the northeast corner of the island. Near sunset I returned to Shamei and took a bus back to Shanwai.
