We are doing our travel diary for school

Saturday 26th may

Had a great morning . We went to the mall of the Emirates again and headed to ski Dubai ! We got the super pass which included ski tubing giant ball tobogganing and chair lift rides . Grahame did skiing as well down the slopes . We played in the snow for four hours . It was minus 3 degrees Celsius . We had our ski suits on shoes and gloves . We had hot chocolate at tge middle chairlift tower and we also tubed down the mountain from there . After ski Dubai we went shopping and had coffee at borders books and lunch . Last night we went to Indian and swam in the sea with our friends Samantha Steven catrin and Thomas at jumeira beach . Everything opens here at 10am and goes till late around midnight .

last day in Dubai

We are off to do a desert safari at 3pm today. 4wd driving markets and dinner and belly dancing !!! Can't wait to see a sand desert . We have had sand haze here over the days we have been here. The sun is eerie in the sky. Boys are tired and having a ball. The whaling for prayers in the shopping centre is amazing as well as the diversity of countries and people here.  We would love to come back. If any one goes , you really need more than 3 days here. So much to see and do !!! Shops open at 10am and go past midnight . Anyway - thinking of our friends and family. More photos to come once we make Paris. We are already staying an extra 2 days in Paris as we are meeting up with Rhonda and Ally Thornley there.
Kieran is keen to see the louvre. I almost fell off my chair !!! Must be Mrs Lakiss' art classes at school !

On the plane !

So what a trip just an amazing flight . We went over burwood over the blue mountains to Adelaide and veered over the great Australian bight towards kalgoorlie in western Australia and headed north over meerkatharra in the wheat belt of western Australia and over exmouth on the WA coast ( ningaloo reef) . Boys have been enjoying endless Simpsons cartoons and I've gone back to my childhood in the 1970's watching the muppets movie !!!!
