A Taiwan Road Trip
17th - 22nd April 2014
Easter is here again and so we are heading to northern Taiwan for a few days in the mountains and hot springs.
Our first stop was after a 2 hour drive south to Maoli County on the western side of the island and the hot springs village of Ta’ian.
After 2 nights we then headed over the centre of the island past Mount Hehuashan at over 3000 metres and on to the Taroka Gorge
A Malaysian Road Trip
30th September - 5th October 2014
Taking advantage of two days public holidays in Hong Kong we headed to Malaysia for a Road trip to Melaka and the Cameron Highlands.
As it turns to we left Hong Kong at an exciting time as the demonstrations in favour of being allowed to vote for candidates for Chief Executive in 2017, other than a couple of hand picked apparatchiks ! Especially given that the last few choices may have been high on loyalty to the Motherland but unfortunately low on governing competence !
A Ride through Rajastan
19 December 2014 - 4January 2015
This year we have planned a visit to Rajasthan in the north of India for Christmas and New Year. Although we had thought of most things we had not built in the 'Indian bureaucracy factor' in dealing with the Consulate in Hong Kong. So with a flight at 2000 hrs we finally managed to get the visa at 1600 !!!!
