Today we went to lunch at Keminski's hotel at the Mall of Emirates. The ski place there puts SnowPlanet to such shame. Then went to Wild Wadi which is a water theme park. Was heaps of fun and the place has beautiful views of Dubai. For dinner we went to Al Murooj Rotana Hotel with Candy and her friend Jiuen where we had a very nice buffet , however it was asian food which was a bit silly but I had had enough of Arabic food over the last few days. Then met up wit...

Went on a safari today but started the day late today after going out to 360 and Rockbottoms (not as seedy as some say but it was a weeknight after all)... Was picked up by our tour guy Albert who was from Uzbekstan (however you spell it) and went out of town towards the desert. Stopped by some shops first to meet with the other 20 or so 4WDs from the same tour company where they deflated their tyres. Got to hold a baby falcon which was nice but the poor thing ...

Arrived in Dubai safe and sound this morning. The heat isn't too bad here... but it is still Spring apparently. The place is amazing, well what Candy has shown me so far anyway... apparently there are cruddier sides to Dubai too. Slept for a few hours before venturing out since Candy only arrived back from Newcastle as well. Went to Madinat Jumeirah first which is a hotel with shopping as well... absolutely gorgeous and managed to get some photos of Burj Arab....
