The End of our Dream Trip!

Well we have ended our trip on a high not by staying our last night in a 5 star hotel in Incheon Korea. We had adjoining rooms (Kids in one room parents in the other!) Had a fancy toilet that had a warm toilet seat, and a sprinkler for your front and back bottom. Kids thought it was a real novelty, trying it out more than once! Have to say Mike and I tried it too just for the experience, caught the family moment on Video...might show the Kids on their 21st! Watch out Catie and Zane ... good threatening evidence!Dinner, Breakfast and Lunch on Korean Air at the Hyatt Regency! Impressive!!
Our last bit of shopping in a Korean Shopping Centre called E-mart!! Bought some Fun gifts. Flight back to NZ great and now back home and to reality.
Was our trip a dream?............... If so ...... Man What a dream it was!!..........Certainly wouldn't mind having that dream again!!!

Now a few Thank you's.........

Cinque Terre

5 Quaint walking villages built inbetween rockfaces on the Mediterraean sea. Wow....... what an experience! The Med was warm, snorkled, lots of fishes...great marine life. Will post photos soon. Did a boat cruise between the villages to Porto Venere and to three 3 Islands. Great weather!! Definetly recommended it!!
Milan was our last stop in Italy and we spent two lovely days with Emma our Italian student. Did some sight but also did lotsa shopping!! Milan is the fashion capital of the world so clothes, jewellery, shoes we high on the agenda!
Great fun and a great way to end the trip. Some sad good byes, tears and heart strings pulled!!
Now back to Korea........

France and Monaco

Wow what a great four days with the Macmillans! We went to St Guihem Le Desert, a gorgeous medieval village,had a French lunch of Goat cheese salads, Boeuf bourgeon and crepes! then we headed to a train ride in the mountains over looking vineyards, French villages and forest. We also went to the Mediterranean sea where the family except Suzie indulged in a swim! Indulged in another gorgeous lunch of French food, seafood this time as we were on the coast.These frogs sure know how to cook! On our last day went shopping in Pezenas where Mike bought Diesel jeans. The afternoon was spent at a new shopping centre where again Mike was spoilt with new clothes!! The last evening a baby sitter was booked and the King Macmillan adults went for a scrumptious dinner at a gorgeous French restaurant! No frog legs or escargots on the menu but raw marinated duck, rabbit, rack of lamb,quail,goat cheese wrapped in filo parcels soooooo Devine!! Lots of wine and Laughs! Dessert was equally as tantalizing with creme brûlée and ice cream! On Saturday we left Roujan and headed to the French Riverera, Eze, Cannes, Nice,and Monaco. Zane and Mike in awe of the Ferrari's, Porches, Lamborginis and Rolls Royces. Arrived back in Italy on Sunday evening and dined at the medieval city of Borges on the Liguiran coast. On Monday when headed to Genoa and a violent storm hit and what should of taken us 45 minutes took 3 hours! Rubble over the autostrada and flooding rain. Finally managed to get to Genoa train station and headed to Vernazza Cinque Terre. This is one of five villages set on the rock face with the Mediterranean coast on one side. Tomorrow we start our three days of walking from village to village along walking tracks in the National park of Cinque Terre. On Saturday we head to Milan, which brings us to the last leg of our adventure!! Wow what an amazing trip this has been, already planning our next trip!
