Discovering Macau and Cirque du Soleil

April has been a bussy month with many fun activities. One Saturday morning, we decided to take the ferry to Macau - Asia's Las Vegas. We took a taxi to the ferry station and the ferry ride took about an hour.

As we got into Macau, we went straight to the Venitian because we had ordered tickets to the Cirque du Soleil ZAIA show.

The Venitian was spectacular - unlike anything I have seen in Vegas. It was new and fresh and really over the top when it came to design. The shopping was amazing and the restaurants were fabulous. We went to a great Italian restaurant and then we checked the kids in to a massive playground for two hours and Henrik and I got some "grown-up" time :)

The Cirque du Soleil show was amazing. We all really enjoyed it. Mattias' favorite part were the "ninjas" climbing up and down poles doing tricks and the fire jugglers. Heidi's favorite part was the girls singing and when the heart baloons were released at the very end of the show.

It was a nice spur of the moment thing day. It was fun to see and experience. We are greatful for all of our experiences here. We are however getting homesick. The kids often ask how many more days until we go back to America. And when Henrik and I saw some pictures of the trees in our back yard that Judith sent, we looked at each other and we both had the same feeling: we miss home. That is a good thing. Thanks for your letters, e-mails and phone calls. It is so nice to stay in touch.

Love you all.
