The final days, the final installment

Gijon, an industrial coastal town on the north coast of Spain was our final port of call on the seeking summer mega holiday.  .

 Although there weren't too many signs of summer remaining there was just enough sunshine to enjoy a bit of time on the beach and some strolls around the town to find some good bars to enjoy the local speciality-cider. This speciality is all the more special because of the way it's poured-check out this YouTube clip to see what I mean.





After a short hop back to the UK (Yep, Spain one hour, London the next), we had some last minute family and farm time, soaking up the country atmosphere and enjoying the benefits of staying with family i.e. home cooked meals, unlimited access to a washing machine, amongst other things of course!

We then spent our two final nights in the Motherland in London doing all last minute things needed to be done when moving countries including, but not limited to, drinks and shopping!

Lego!  (Except the small child)

Our final port of call before returning to Sydney was two nights in Hong Kong where we tired our fingers with constant use of chop sticks for tasty food and tired our legs with lots of exploring the streets, the markets and the islands.

That's it for the Move to the Motherland-our year abroad has come and gone and we're now settling back into life in the land of Oz but watch this space for the next adventure...
