Here are some photos of the famous boathouses in Melbourne. This is one of the last places I visited before going home for a two-month break from traveling. I’m going back to Australia in the end of May!

After I met the Taiwanese guys at the hot air balloon festival, they took me to a commune where people traveling around Taiwan stay the night for free. That’s where I met John, a fellow solo motorbiker in his 70’s. He insisted that I wake up at 5am the next morning to go with him to see Liushidan Mountain, where the farmed daylillies just happened to be blooming. Here are the photos (from August 2012).
