‘There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.’
Well, this is our last week in Western civilization, after this, we head to Asia.
Launceston Gorge
Last Monday, I was in Launceston, Tasmania where we flew into Melbourne, Australia for a week.
Before I left Launceston, I had time for a morning walk in the Gorge. Absolutely beautiful, so glad I made it to this stunning area.

Most of our time in Tasmania we stayed at people’s homes on Air bnb – an online accommodation service where people let out their spare rooms, we’ve done both: let our space and stayed at others. It’s a great way to get to know the local area from someone who lives there.
Then, when we arrived here in Melbourne – well, John and I have just crashed – seems all the travel is tiring us out, so we’ve mainly just been taking it easy, hanging out with friends and preparing for our last quarter of our trip – Asia!
Dinner with Friends!
Saying that, we have seen a few gardens – Royal Botanic Gardens – Cranbourne

and the Rhododendron Gardens – Dandenong. (Some photos below of the flowers)

I, also, made it to the local Art House Cinema – Cameo to enjoy the film – ‘Birdman’.
So tomorrow we head off for more new adventures, tastes and sounds. Plus the heat will go up a lot as we head to Singapore for a few days, then off to Malaysia.
Happy travels! What are some of your ideas on how to deal with high heat and humidity?
Love

Safe travels Debbie, I am enjoying going around the world with you. All the best, Carol Penno
Thanks Carol, have just come back from a morning of walking round Singapore – now a bit of rest, as we aclumatise to heat, humidity and culture.
