Not to mention four mayoral receptions, three games of gutsy rugby and, in between all of that, shopping, singing, haka, hangi and hard nights out.
The singing and the haka have been show-stoppers all across Europe, as they were on Friday night after the Cardiff match against Georgia. It really was a Ten Guitars moment when the people came from miles around to hear our melody and it will forever be etched in the minds of our tour group who got to see first-hand the pulling power of our Maori culture.
As one of our group mentioned in our farewell speeches the other morning on the bus to Heathrow airport, how cool is it that an 86-year-old Pakeha woman (our whaia Shirley Girly Sparks) can stand proudly with us and sing waiata after a World Cup rugby match in Wales.
Right smack in the middle of North Street outside the stadium where 69,800 of us watched our World Cup warriors give it to Georgia, we gave it our all as if to say thank you to the universe for giving us the time of our life during our voyage du monde.
And when the often asked question of "how the hell did you do it?" comes up - as it was when we met the Haimoana whanau from Rotorua in Piacenza, one of the three rugby clubs we were hosted by, or the Jacob whanau from Arataki in the corporate box at Cardiff - the answer was proudly: "We saved hard, planned well and learned to look after each other every step of the way."
When the age group ranges for 18 to almost 87 you see the map of the human heart from very young to very old, and on this tour and, for me, it's almost like a snapshot of what the world could look like - through the lenses of our Le Hikoi tour, kanohi ki te kanohi (face-to-face and not Facebook-to-Facebook).
And if 44 can live laugh and love together, share tears of joy and sadness, enjoy cool kai and rich korero with their host billets - then why not 400 or the full Monty 4 million Kiwis?
Perhaps the final word of this tour belongs to the divine duo who sang for their supper busking outside the majestic Milan cathedral, right next to the sidewalk cafe we were eating in earlier this week.
Everything about the world was perfect right at that moment and their final two songs as we sat listening and loving the moment said it all for Le Hikoi 2015.
Let It Be - and What A Wonderful World.
Sometimes you cannot change the world and the sadness of Syria or the madness of yet another schoolyard shooting.
Sometimes you have to soak up the good things with good people and let it be in this wonderful world we live in.
Sometimes you have to catch the magic of what a world could look like if we just be nice to each other, as we have been for the last 21 days of our Le Hikoi tour.
Au revoir Europe - Allez Aotearoa.
One more sleep my Pirirakau Princesses and we are home.
