Keelung is the closest port town to Taipei and we get 4 days here to explore this area!

After walking around the Port of Keelung for just a couple of hours we felt like we were melting! This month is the Mid Summer Ghost Festival and it is a big deal - basically when they pay homage to all those who came before them. We just missed the big festival in Keelung on 9/6/25. But we did get to take in a lot of the decorations.

AUSTRALIA marks our 6th Continent of this trip around the World! I visited Australia & New Zealand for the first time back in 2016, but we didn't make it to Darwin then - so I was excited to see this time.

A lot of people went to dinner in costume, but the full party started after at 8:30 pm with fun and games first, then the dance floor opened outside. I hand sewed our Pebbles & BamBam costumes.

We love a good party! Halloween did not disappoint! The festivities started with a Spooky Lunch Buffet and a gorgeous sunset!
