Around Sun Moon Lake

Small indigenous towns are dotted around in the mountains. Here are some pics from the Dili area.

Sun Moon Lake - Camp & Cycle

Found a great little campsite next to the Cable car/ropeway near Itha Thao village. The cycle path around the lake is well maintained and wide .

I rode about 33km , stopped to take pics about 3 hours

pitched a tent and brought the dog

Gypsy around Taiwan

Decided to get away from all the bad news in the world and  tour around Taiwan in a small camper van; cycling, hiking, surfing and enjoy local foods in areas where the camper serves as homebase. Taiwan very safe and has the Covid 19 virus firmly under control. Took along my boogieboard and pretended I'm a kid again... actually I still feel like a kid, but my 50th is fast approaching so I took a good medical kit along as well i.e. bottle of scotch and voltaren....lol
