OCT. 27: LUODONG

Parking break

While Sam and Robbie enjoy some rare privacy in their honeymoon suite, the rest of the wedding gang explores Luodong -- starting with the world-class sports park right across the street from Robbie's house. The kick-back day ends with the I-lan night market. How many shoes can the gals take home?

HIGHLIGHTS

* Leisurely lunch at the Park Bench: pasta with smolked chicken, mushrooms and pesto, and who can forget the caramel slushy drinks?   * Vicki and Olga singing a Bette Midler duet in the park perched atop the specially designed acoustic circle, which amplifies their voices.   * Gawking at the exposed urinals.   * Dinner at the Big Boss Hotel: big steaks and honey rose "Finland Juice" (orange juice, lemon juice and milk), which Vicki asks to be served for the meal -- little did she know it comes with a piece of chocolate cake.   * More dragon fruit. Yum.   * Shoes and more shoes at the night market: Four pairs between Olga, Vicki and Jennifer. Olga takes a class in Hair Stick 101, while Robbie gets ticked off at the man in the pillow store who won't bargain fairly.
