Early start 6:15am pick up for our flight to KL. Coffee and pastries at the airport. Are feeling really tired today so it will be nice to sleep on the plane.

Arrived on KL and got taxi to our hotel. Wow, should I say palace compared to our other hotels. So lovely and spacious. Huge beds with really soft pillows and luxurious sheets. Just fell asleep for about 5 hours coz we didn't get much sleep on the plane.

Found a nice cafe in the hotel foyer and had a beautiful high tea that was only $20 for the two of us. So delicious. Then decided to go into town. Went to pavilion shopping centre but it was pretty expensive and full if designer shops so we got a taxi to Chinatown for the night markets. Spent the night haggling over bags ... So many bags ... And Nike shoes for lewy.

Then back to the hotel and our lovely beds.

The next morning we stored our bags and went back into town to shop and kill time waiting for our flight. Got picked up at 5pm, after another nice high tea, bit rushed this time, and headed to the airport by taxi. Boarded the plane just before 9:00 for an 8 hour flight home.

Very long flight with a very cranky baby sitting in the aisle over from us. Aaasrrrggghhh. No sleep again. Can't wait to climb into my own bed soon.

What an amazing trip. We spent a few mins recalling all the highlights ... The Eiffel tower twice, the opera house, everywhere in paris, Venice, Switzerland, dinner at Mykonos, cinque terre, dinner at mamma mia, Florence, our cute B&B and the lively cafe for breakfast, the cruise, Pisa, the opera at Verona ... It was the trip of a lifetime and I feel forever changed by it. I feel do much stronger, and more confident, calm and definitely happier.

Ready to face the next chapter of my life.
