Australia

First of all, I highly recommend it. Although it's not cheap, costing around NT$5,000 per day, the trip was at the end of October. Australia is on daylight saving time, so we met around 11 am and didn't return to the hotel until around 11 pm. The itinerary included lunch, a miniature train ride, the zoo, and the penguins. We booked a group of 20 people, but we originally wanted a smaller group, which was full. Luckily, there were only 7 people today, which was fantastic. The bus was large and clean, which alone earned it 100 points. The driver/guide was also very nice, introducing the sights, telling stories about history, and even helping us take photos. We were also lucky that the weather was super nice. The highlight of the trip was seeing the penguins. We upgraded to "plus" for an extra fee, which I think was well worth it. The penguins were very clear, but it was extremely cold, so we had to stand in the wind for at least half an hour before we could see the penguins slowly returning home. So, if the weather is very cold, it might be even better to go underground.

I received an email two days after placing the order confirming that I could pick it up at the store. The data speed will only be known after actual use.

The English-speaking travel guide Gary was very experience with nice attitude to the tour group. He was very patient even when two people in the group disappeared for 15 minutes without being able to reach them. The Puffing Billy railway ride was interesting. The Penguin tour was quite disappointed as we could only see a few dozens coming back even though sitting for an hour. Not really worth travelling a long way unless spend more time on the island to watch more penguins coming on shore later at night.
