Yehliu Geopark

Yehliu Geopark was on the north-east coast of Taiwan, technically considered New Taipei City. After an hour-long bus ride from Taipei Main Station, I walked the remaining short distance to the site that I’d first heard about from a fellow blogger — twobrownfeet. I hadn’t been impressed with much I’d seen around Taipei until I arrived at this location.

The Great Ocean Road’s Grotto

Most of the trails to the various sites along the Great Ocean Road were a mere 100-300 metre walks. The Grotto path was one of the longest, a still short 700 metres.

Malta’s Blue Grotto

I hadn’t been impressed by Malta’s main island. But a year and a half after my last visit, that was about to change. My daughter drove south to the Blue Grotto where we took a boat ride out of a fiord shaped inlet over water of the most beautiful colour, into the Blue Cave and past arched rock formations.
