Saturday 3rd
Took mum and steve to the airport….had a coffee and then they went through 
Apparently it was really busy the other side! All emirates flights go through the same check in desks, so it is a bit busy to say the least!
I headed back to the flat where we waited for Nick………he had some trouble checking out of his hotel, and they couldn’t get hold of the company to sort it….1.5hours later and he arrived….gave us time to do apartment admin!
Really sensible of us, we went for a Dubai walk about…..in the hottest part of the day! We walked towards the creek, but before we got there we had a pit stop at Waxy O Connors for a cheeky beer and snack! On our ramble we stumbled across the Iranian Mosque. Beautiful ornate tiles decorating the front of this building! very spectacular, and a kind couple took a photo of us out the front!
The purpose of our walk was to get to the Dubai Museum. Everyone who has been has said how good it was! They were right. For 3DHS you are treated to a wealth of information and history of this place!
We walked through the textile souk...it was earie as it was all closed, and Jumped on an Abra.
We went to the spice souk and bought more honey chocolate, nougat, saffron and various types of nuts, and then on to the gold souk……..by this time a cuppa char was calling…..we had a quick walk around gold land and then CJD had a brain wave….lets go to the Hyatt Regency for afternoon tea!
But don’t think just because you can see a building, that it is close by! Eventually we got to the front door and took a seat. Because it was well needed, it was the best cup of tea I have ever tasted…..and in the pursuit of Ablutions, Nick found an ICE RINK!!!!! We must go and have a session in there.
After all that walking we got a taxi back to the flat!!!!!!!!!

Took Nick to Deira City Centre on Monday….needed Carrefour visit and also went to the cinema…..Carolyn took him to see the weird and wonderful cuts of meat on offer over here…….OMG mistake……
Finish wandering around head to the checkout….pay and leave…..all the time with reference to Lamb! Now I like lamb…..A lot…….but until we left the shop and I saw what cuts of lamb they had bought…………………I think I have been scarred for life….
In amongst our shopping they had purchased Lambs Testicles for tea on Tuesday!!!!! See photo evidence….
We went to the cinema and saw Severance…..a kind of Comedy Horror and it was actually really good. In fact the scariest part wasn’t the film….it was thinking about what we were having for tea on Tuesday!!!!!
