Well, We've just left Dubai. It was incredible, so many skyscrapers, buildings and so much construction work going on. Dubai has 1/3 of all the worlds cranes, and you can tell. It's such a vast area. It's a little overwhelming at 1st, but being picked up in a Porshe Cayenne from the airport we soon got over it!
We went to some beautiful shopping malls, which one of them had different areas of the continent, so one was completely kitted out as Egypt, one Tunisia, Greek, etc. Make's a change from good old St.Davids shopping centre in the Diff!!
On Monday we went Dune Bashing, where you get picked up in a Jeep and taken into the desert to be thrown over sand dunes whilst strapped into this car. It's scary at 1st, but after a while just make us sick! After we got taken to a 'Camp' where we were given Shisha and an amazing spread of foods. Our guide was really good too, so really made the experience for us. Charlie & I got up and did a little belly dancing with the lady doing the show too- Well when in Rome and all that! We both have Henna tattoo's, but came out a little differently than expected, so we're thinking of scrubbing our skin a bit to spead up the process of removing it!
Dubai was amazing, but very fake, nothing about it very real. Our guide said that they put water in the sand and sand in the water. So water in the middle of the desert to make Marina's and sand in the sea to make the Palm etc- Backwards!
We'll write when we get to Sydney. Miss you all, xxx
