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!

Flowers on the Mountain
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).
Oh how I love him… his name was “John”
Early morning fog
We drove up a mountain to see these flowers!
I was so lucky they were blooming while I was there.
My scooter, very easy to drive.
This crazy Taiwanese man forced me to join him at 5 AM to see the famous orange flowers on the mountain
Motorbiking with new friends in Taiwan
Hobart, Tasmania
I had the lucky opportunity to visit a long lost relative in Hobart. John Sargent and his wife Sue hosted me and James for a week, and took us all around the city and beyond to see the area. John has lived in Hobart his entire life and runs a small museum – he’s the ultimate tourguide! Thanks a lot John and Sue.
