First of all, happy valentine's day everyoneeeeeee! Today was definitely my most interesting valentine's day. To start off we headed to a huge New Zealand café next to the beach! It was called the Lime Tree Café. It was soo awesome because they even had little posters of tikis and things like rocky road slices! It's definitely worth checking out :) had a delicious sundried tomato and haloumi cheese toastie with a banana and berry smoothie. Nom. We then headed...

I know I suck because I didn't update my blog yesterday :( But in my defence I was absolutely exhausted by the time we got home! We (again) had a really awesome day. We accidentally overslept but then when we did finally emerge we headed to the bastakiya, which is also known as the old quarter.

There are heaps of things in...

It was pretty much the middle eastern equivalent of what we did in the Fijian islands in the sense that it was all specifically designed for tourists, and there is one big camp with lots of activities and you choose what you want to do and when.

I forgot to write a blog about our antics yesterday! Our very last day in Europe... I will keep it brief as I have a whole day of Dubai to write about! When we woke up the first thing we had to do was find a currency exchange place. However Munich was pretty frustrating for this, we could barely find any! We managed to find two, but both were closed. I was quite surprise because almost everything was closed since it was a Sunday - even Starbucks! So it was good ...
