We've left Sweden and reached Hong Kong, China. We got to the hotel fairly late but got a few hours in, walking around Kowloon markets. Today we woke up just in time for breakfast and met up with our tour bus. We headed off to Lantau island to see the big Budha. That was incredible. First we had a 25 min cable car ride to the Budha and then we met up without tour guide who showed us around. We saw some temples, where the monks live, which were just beautiful. We ...

It's been a few days since our last blog entry. Kris and Angela have been free for the weekend and we made the most of it. We took a trip into Sigtuna to have a look around the shops. Had a sandwich and coffee in a cute, old place called Tant Brun. She is a famous children's story writer. We found some souvenirs from Sweden to take home with us. That night Kris and I looked after the kids while Carmen and Angela had a night out in Stockholm at an Irish pub with ...

Today we headed out to the markets in Vaison la Romaine, south of France. It was a cold and rainy but it was great to get out and see the sights. We got some cheese and tapanade for dinner. We had an amazing lunch with Bo. We were the only people in the restaurant. The food just kept coming and the host felt it her duty to feed us so much we nearly rolled out the door. We bought some nice wine for dinner and went back to Jenny's for a great dinner. Before dinner ...

Yesterday we flew from Stockholm to Geneva with Max's dad. We then drove to his house at Servoz to stay the night. We had a sauna to wake up and then went to Chamonix for a walk around town. We then had a lovely dinner at a old style, rustic restaurant. We had a big sleep in this morning then headed to the south of France to Grilling in Provence to visit Max's sister Jenny and her family at their B & B. Jenny cooked us her famous lavender chicken and we had ...

Today we decided to do a bit of sight seeing in Stockholm. Bo (Max's dad) was our guide. He took us to the old city of Stockholm where the buildings were between 400 - 600 years old. Very beautiful part of the city. We then went to the Town hall for a tour. It is an amazing building. Not very old but it was designed to look older than what it really was. This is the the building where they hold the Nobel prize dinner & ball. We then met up with Kris and went...
