Following a few hard days work in the heat, we have a weekend and the rotation fell this time to allow us a 2 day break. NICE ONE!.
A friend from Cambridge was on holiday staying in Dubai with other friends so it was the perfect opportunity for all of us to meet and have a "girly" few days!
Friday we messed around by the pool at The Greens complex over near the Mall of the Emirates. Having had a dose of UV light we decided we needed to be touristy!!!! and headed to the HARD ROCK CAFE!!!! was soooooo exciting always wanted to go to one!!!! The place is FAB! really recommend it...i know its basically fast food but the atmosphere is great.....We just had to buy a T-shirt for posing factor! ;-)
Finished up taking lots of photos and decided to go and see what the deal was with the Skiing at the Mall. Looks massive! Hornet has been to the Birmingham snow dome......but this is bigger. by the time had left the HR Cafe and got to the mall we were a bit thirsty so sat with a drink watching people having snowball fights!!!!! was very surreal!
On Saturday..... we went back to The Greens to meet up again and headed to an antique market....it was a proper little aladins cave! anything and EVERYTHING under one roof! tourist tat to traditional wears! was great and will definately be going back! It was really enclosed and after an hour it was a little uncomfortably hot...so the decision was made.......WILD WADI HERE WE COME!!! Wild Wadi is a water park with flumes, shoots, wave pool, lazy river and rubber tube rides.....it was AWESOME FUN! but very tiring......especially as there was one ride that hornet and friend didnt really want to go on but CJD was up for!!!!!! it was called Jumeira scarer or something.....you know those high water shoots where you cross your arms and legs.......for good reason!!!!!! it was a definate close your eyes moment.....CJD loved it though!!!!
we finished the weekend with a Maccy Dees on the beach watching the Burj Al Arab change colour........and its back to work for a week!....................
