April 10
It is storming outside. The Pacific Ocean is 100 meter from the place I sit,and the ocean shows its teeth... so did we today!Today’s ride went from 30 km outside Kenting to Taitung. The watch kicked us out of bed 4 o’clock and at 5:20 we started.The sky was blue and almost no wind. We had the finest sun rise over the Pacific,vauw!! The route today has been the hardest and the most beautiful until now. We were driving 142 km up and downhill (1161 high meters / 481 meters was the highest point)and the last 25 km we had strong wind against us, I guess between 15 and 20 sec/meterToday we also saw rain for the first time, but as it began to rain, we found shelter just in time…Now, after todays race, a shower, and a cup of coffee we will rest before going out for some seafood.Chinese food is great... so many fresh and spicy/crunchy vegetables For the night we stay at Sherilyn and Chris Gant. They have 3 boys.Jothan told me ( he is 8 years old) about their dogs Doggy and Shadow. Doggy broke its leg at a car accident, so it have one leg in cast… Jothan got two brothers Raymand and Bryan. Their house is only about 100 meters from the sea... vauw!

From the Tour studio is left to say: Charlie has after breaking wind and waves taken the yellow jersey.Y got the mountain jersey, Shy most attacking , Erik was best helping rider today…And me... hmmm... the white Jersey (they all saying I am looking so young ;)
The green jersey is out of order... no one like to sprint here!!

Lidt på dansk:Vi har nu 3 gange spist ude under kanon forhold, fordi Y kender nogen alle steder. Også idag ringende han, mens vi spiste til nogle venner fra tiden på Politiskolen.. og de kom 3 stykker, var meget hyggelige.. og mindsandten, betalte regningen, selvom de kun lige havde nippet lidt til den lækre mad.. gæstfrie og imødekomne, det er Taiwanesere..
