Hey guys…Just a quick few words on our past two days.

We had a wonderful day on Friday thanks to our new friend Tammie who chauffeured us around Dubai, showing us the local hotspots. We started the day with sightseeing (most places are still being built!!!) followed by a trip to the Mall of the Emirates. The Mall of the Emirates has the indoor ski slope attached to it and the mall itself is the biggest we have even been in.

We then went for traditional Arabic lunch (Hummus, an eggplant dip, mixed meat mezza and plenty of local salad and veg) and all shared a shisha pipe with a strawberry flavor. It rounded the meal off nicely (plus we looked way cool with our shisha pipes :-p )

On Saturday we woke at a leisurely hour (apart from seeing my mother off at 4 .30!!!) and headed to Wild Wadi the local water park. It was quite good but with the high temp you wear out quickly. Conor went down the steepest water slide in the world tho! So suppose it was worth it just for that.
