I headed off to Hualien today as had not heard back from Nixson or Seray about further meetings.
The train was through the first few places I'd already been and then down the coast, with imposing mountains inland and the sea to the other side.
We crossed over many estuaries and riverbeds, though it was difficult to see very much due to the fact that it was still raining for my whole journey there and even after I arrived!
After checking in to the hostel, I managed to get some delicious beef noodles from the place immediately across the road.
