FOUREYES ON MARTINBOROUGH

This past weekend, a couple of us flew down to Wellington with a few friends and made our way to one of NZ's wine regions Martinborough to relax and cycle around the beautiful vineyard - four days or pure indulgence!

The vineyards we stopped at for wine tastings on our cycle circuit included Martinborough Vineyard, Ata Rangi, Margrain, Schubert (a personal favourite), Vinfields, Alana Estate and Te Kairanga.

What we loved :

• The great company of the friends we were with
• Tasting the amazing pinot noir for which this wine village is so well known
• The NZ small town hospitality and friendliness we experienced everywhere we went
• The delicious food we had at Wendy Campbell's French Bistro
• One of the best pies we have ever had at the Main St Deli in Greytown
• The hot tub at the house we rented
• Lunch at  Vinfields  where we enjoyed a couple of platters and flights of wine.

Regardless of whether you are visiting NZ or living here...this is NZ at it's best!

FOUREYES ON SEOUL

We took off to Seoul for a few days in late March. Seoul is a place close to our hearts with Alex having spent 3 years living there and it being the city where Mino was born and raised it was so good to be back in this crazy, busy, frenetic city! Seoul is a place of contrasts, the old and the new, the modern and the traditional. Home to beautiful palaces and a rich history, Seoul is also a shopping paradise! Check out our "On the streets of Seoul" post for a taste of what people are wearing in Seoul.

The Highlights :

• Seeing old friends and family!
• The amazing food. For those of you who still haven't had your first Korean meal, get to it! Lots of food pics below.
• The Shopping is out of this world!!
• The LEON magazine (Japanese) launch party we attended

If you travel to Seoul, be sure to check out the following places :

• Shopping areas : Myeongdong, Dongdaemun, Karosukil street, Apgujeong
• Shops : Aland, Codes Combine, Doota Shopping Mall in Dongdaemun.
• Culture : Changdeok-gung palace,
• Nightlife : Apgujeong / Itaewon / Hongdae
