On the second day driving on the Great Ocean Road towards Melbourne we stop at the Erskine Falls. Very beautiful, but I am even more impressed by the rainforest around it than by the waterfall. Also the views during the ride, interspersed with beaches where you can surf on the high waves,…

After having experienced the most beautiful month of my life with my sons, the farewell is fortunately not too hard for me. I like to travel alone and I rarely feel lonely because I regularly meet people. The same applies if I move to another, cheaper, hotel in Bangkok. Andreas from Austria has my…
