天下沒有不散的筵席，轉眼就來到我們在美里停留的最後一天。因為我們坐的是次日早晨六點的班機離開，所以，中午就先回家跟爸媽一起吃頓午飯、告別，讓公公婆婆有足夠的時間收拾行李、晚上提早休息。 All good things come to an end. This’s the last day in Miri already, and we would move on to K.K. the next day at 6 am. Therefore, we visited my parents for lunch as farewell, to let Wim and Diny have an easy time later to prepare for their coming trip.
為了方便，我們在週末安排了聚餐，邀請親戚齊集一堂，介紹遠道而來的親家給大家“打個相識”。 To introduce Bart’s parents to my relatives, we have organized this family dinner at restaurant, instead of visiting them individually.
這天早上回家祭祖，我們讓兩老在酒店自由活動。下午，我們去東姑村看看馬來西亞的多元宗教文化–華人的華光寺和它對面的印度廟，然後到美里公共公園走走。 This morning, we let Wim and Diny to have their own activities at hotel. In the afternoon, we brought them to Chinese and Hindu temples to explore the multi-cultural society in Malaysia, and last at Miri Public Park for sightseeing.
這天就只享受海風！應諾公公婆婆在美里有個悠哉的假期，我們也放慢步調，用心享受那份悠閒。 It’s our majesty’s relaxing holiday, thus, the main task of this day: enjoying the sea breeze, and the tropical sea views.
每次回美里，總會找中學的同學一起聚聚。這次應巴特“同學”的要求，把同學會安排在他來美里之後，聚餐地點是在Luak的泰式餐館“泰北美食”。畢業二十幾年，還能聚在一起的就是緣分。 Every time when I’m in Miri, we will catch up with each others. We’re classmates at secondary school, and we’re friends for 25+ years. We have to cherish every chances to meet and have funs to enrich our memories. We have arranged this gathering at a Thai restaurant, after the arrival of our “classmate”…
悠哉地過了幾天，時差也調過來了，是時候開始旅行的節奏了。這天，我們帶公公婆婆到實務地，參觀爸爸的果園，還有去三個不同的海邊景點走走。 After few relaxing days, our Dutch guests got used to the new rhythm already, and it’s time to start with some busy programs. This day, we went to Sibuti to visit my father’s orchard, and three beaches (Bungai, Tusan, and Luak Explanade) with different exposures.
曾經的皇家麗佳酒店，現為萬豪旗下的渡假酒店，美里目前唯二的五星級酒店之一。這天沒什麽節目，除了去星辰廣場走了一小圈，其他時間都在酒店享受。 Miri Marriott Resort & Spa, the Former RIHGA Royal Hotel Miri, is one of the two 5-stars hotels in Miri. This day, we didn’t have any special programs. So, beside a short trip to Bintang Plaza, we enjoyed the whole day at hotel.
悠哉的一天：早上跟朋友聚聚，下午帶公公婆婆去看美里市景，然後到丹絨海邊走走。 A relaxing day: gathering with friend in the morning, showing Wim & Diny Miri city view and have a walk at Tanjung Lobang Beach.
到荷蘭生活了十二年、和巴特結婚了十年，感恩八十幾歲高齡的公公婆婆願意到馬來西亞渡假，讓相距10.879km的荷馬親家相聚一堂！美里是他們此程的首站，停駐九晚，我們安排了五星級的萬豪酒店，讓他們在長途旅程後能好好地歇口氣、調整時差，享受優美的熱帶海邊景色。 Thanks Wim and Diny willing to join our summer holiday in Malaysia, travelling so far to make this family gathering came true.
