Marvellous New Zealand - Day 8 (Pete's Farm Stay, Rangiora)

Our stay with Pete was a very memorable one, as we enjoyed the tranquility so much, and kids had so much fun, that we missed this awesome place a lot.  It was low season in New Zealand and we were the only guests on the second night of our stay.   On our first night, there was a young friendly couple from Singapore who stayed at the smaller cottage for 2 persons.  

The price of the farm stay includes breakfast at Pete's house and farm tour.  After the farm tour, Pete would be busy working in his farm and we were free to roam around his farm.  Life was truly awesome!!!

Here's the link to Pete's website.  If you have time, PLEASE swing over to Pete's Farm for a night or two, to enjoy Kiwi's farm stay experience and hospitality.  :)

The Sparkling Snowy Korea (14 Days 13 Nights Itinerary)

Image
Kids did not have enough of snow from our last New Zealand trip in June (read more of our New Zealand self drive trip  here ).  Since we had got all our winter apparels readily available, so we thought why not a winter holiday in the sparkling snowy Korea.  After checking through all flight fares, we decided to fly with Malaysia Airlines again.  This trip was a very relaxing trip, as we only use 3 places as base, which were Seoul, Alpensia Ski Resort and Jeju.  We were lucky that all planned and scheduled time set in perfectly (not too early and not too late).   So here's our another kids friendly itinerary for your reference. :)   Day 1 -  touched down Incheon International Airport, Seoul.  We then  purchased the T Money Cards from 7-11 and shuttle bus tickets (KWN29000 per person for adults and half price for children) to Alpensia Ski Resort at Gate 9C, before our hotel picked us up.  Initial plan was to visit Hongik University area for people-watching and shopping.  But w

Western Australia Road Trip & Farm Stay (9 Days 8 Nights Itinerary)

Image
One of our favourite family picture from the trip.  :)  We had a very wonderful trip to Western Australia in September covering Perth, Pemberton, Margaret River and some other small towns/attractions.    It was early spring and the weather was perfect to our liking - it was fairly cold with beautiful sunshine and lovely wind.  It rained a little on one of the days, but it didn't hurt, as we still managed to do quite a bit by checking the weather forecast beforehand.   So here's the itinerary of our super relaxing WA road trip and farm stay experience.  I'll write more on our each day's adventure as soon as I can.  I actually couldn't wait to start writing as I miss the wonderful time we had so much!  We ate well, slept early and breathed in lots of fresh air!  Hahaha...  I shall stop writing and let our amazing pictures do the talking.   Day 1 – Touched down Perth in the late afternoon and headed straight to our rented apartment.   We had dinner at a n

Beautiful China - Chaozhou (潮州)

Image
Year end exam was over and the schools had requested for kids to return all textbooks, which spelled school's out, well, almost.... :)  So I made a decision that all of us to tag along Papa Bear's business trip to China.   We spent 9 days 8 nights in China and we visited Xiamen, Chaozhou and the Tulou in Nanjing.  Here's the entry of our visit to Chaozhou ( 潮州).   The ancient Chaozhou city. We were very lucky that Papa Bear's business friend volunteered to be our tour guide for a day trip to Chaozhou.  Chaozhou is about 3 hours drive from Xiamen, it's a city in the eastern Guangdong province.  Renting a 7 seaters MPV with a private driver will cost you around RMB1600 to and fro from Xiamen.   It was an easy drive on the highway to Chaozhou city.  Our first stop was Han Wen Gong Temple ( 韩文公祠),  which is located on the foot of Bijia Mountain ( 笔架山) at the bank of Hanjiang River in Chaozhou.  It was built in the Song dynasty to commemorate Hanyu ( 韩愈),
