That Mom Of Four

Finally! After a gruelling 18 hours of flying and waiting in between flights, Nyx and I have arrived in Singapore.  The first thing I got to eat immediately after touching down at Changi airport was DURIANS!!!!!! Thanks to my thoughtful mother and father in law, hehe.  I was turbo jet-lagged sleep evaded me during the flight.  I was so happy to see the welcome party comprising of my family, my in-laws and my awesome friends.  It just made the butt numbing trip worth it.  

Yesterday we did a day trip to St Emillion and visited one of the Chateaus (Chateau La Niote) where we were entertained by the owner of the vineyard.  He sang songs, performed magic tricks, let us taste some fantastic wine and showed us a video of how wine was produced by his family's winery.  

Along the way back from Barcelona we stopped by Andorra for lunch and abit of shopping.  This is the third time I've been to Andorra in 5 months, and its also the warmest weather I'm experiencing too.  

We were so lucky to enjoy sunny weather in Barcelona during our 4 day stay.  I also managed to visit a couple more places we missed out when we visited Barcelona last month.  

On Monday we drove to Carcassonne which is basically a really huge castle that looks very medieval.  We even had lunch in a very middle-age looking restaurant and ate very middle-age-y food. Hahaha...... such as pork and duck stew with loads of beans.  

For the past week since we got back from Paris Guojun and I have been driving around and taking short day trips with the family.  We went to Lourdes, Dune de Pyla, Bordeaux, Biscarrosse and Arcachon.  Tomorrow we're heading off to Barcelona again, oh yeah!

Last Thursday I took the TGV with Nyx and went to Paris to meet up with Aunty Cindy and Tammy.  It was a 3 hour plus train ride and really crowded too.  By the time Nyx and I arrived at the train station in Paris it was almost 10pm.  Though it was my first time in Paris I was fortunate to have no trouble at all finding my way to the metro station and hopping on the right trains to find my way to the hotel  where I was to meet my aunt and cousin.   We had a great time touring in Paris for 4 days where we visited the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Champs-Elysees, took a cruise and so much more.
