[Taiwan] 2017春，五天四夜馬祖遊 (2017 Spring, Five Days in Maitsu)

由於馬祖藍眼淚的好發期在每年的五六月，就在今年的六月，安排了一個假期前往馬祖諸島旅遊。
The Sea Sparkle is the reason I went to Maitsu Islands in June. The season for Sea Sparkle here is from May to October. The months you can find it easiest are May and June.

這次旅行，運氣很好的地方，是台馬之間的交通基本上如預期，搭船去，飛機回都順利；但是島間的交通卻遇到停班，未能在北竿停留一天，真的挺可惜的～
Because the cruise between Dongyin and Nangan closed on the 3rd day, we stayed one more day on the Dongyin Island. And with the bad weather, we didn't go to many places. It's an easy trip.

下表是這次的實際行程，在東引島上，多了許多與朋友聊天的時光，呵～

實際跑下來，學到了幾件事：
1. 台馬之間的交通，或許搭船是相對最不受天氣影響的交通方式，但仍然不要忘了，出發前要記得上網確認船班的情況，還是有可能會被取消的；
台馬之星的網站(負責台灣馬祖間的航班)：

全港通的網站(主要負責東引與南竿間，也有與基隆的航班)：

2. 其實網路上有一些追淚團體可以提供最及時的訊息，例如粉絲團或是Line上的團體，反而有時候民宿老闆並不知道，只能依據過去經驗提供可能有藍眼淚的地點，不過這次我只知道一個臉書的粉絲團：
馬祖北竿藍眼淚粉絲團
3. 由於島上的景點其實還滿類似的，相對來說，容易感到重覆性太高，可能容易喪失逛景點的動力，這時候，就要確保找到好的旅伴，因為你們會有很多的時間可以互相交流~
Based on my experience, here are some reminding:

1. The cruise may be the most possible way to go to Maitsu Island, don't forget to check if the cruise opened. Here is the website for Taima Star (the cruise between Keelung, Dongyin and Nangan):

For the cruise between Dongyin and Nangan:

2. When I came back, I find there are two ways you may catch the updates for the Sea Sparkle everyday. From Facebook or Line, but I only have the Facebook:

馬祖北竿藍眼淚粉絲團

3. The attractions or the spots on the islands are really similar. And the islands are not big. You will have a lot of time to have many conversations with your friends. Remember to find really good travel partners like I did, then you will enjoy it very much!

如果再安排一次馬祖行，當然希望能夠多花一點時間待在北竿，尤其是這次本來預訂好的民宿-家適咖啡，這次有機會能與家適咖啡的主人聊聊，是位人情味很濃厚的大哥，能住在這裡，一定會很開心~

If I have a chance to come back again, I will definitely spend more time on Beigan Island where I only have a morning this time. And I prefer to stay at Just coffee hostel because the host make me feel like home. It's so warm.

食物方面，個人很喜歡東引島上山猴的店的料理，黑毛超好吃的啦！不過下次希望佛手放一半的量就好，嚐嚐即可，哈~

For the food, I may go to 山猴的店 (@ Dongyin) to try the fresh fish again. But this time, maybe just half of the Turtles, ha~
