Friday’s holiday photos #1
While we’re away, I’ll be using the Friday slot to post a few photographs from our trip (WiFi permitting). The first ones are from Dubai where we had a few days’ stopover. As to be expected at this time of year, it was hot and steamy – thank heaven for air conditioning pretty much everywhere.
My first port of call was at the book shop in the Dubai Mall. I am nothing if not predictable! We then went window shopping until I bought my beloved a new toy, a rechargeable and portable Bose speaker. I may regret this if I have to listen to his choice of music all vacation. Maybe I should have bought some of those noise cancelling ear phones after all?
Thursday we just chilled around the hotel pool. We did think about heading to the beach but it just seemed like too much effort.
After two days of total relaxation we were ready to continue our journey to Sydney.
Wow… Are they shopping malls? Looking liking glass palaces…!

I’ve been to Dubai a few times years ago, I remember going to that shopping Mall. Will you be visiting the gold and spice souks 😁

I’ve done that on previous trips snd they’re well worth a visit. I’ve visited Dubai 20+ times. My favourite places are the Mosques and desert.

Not everywhere as they’ve built so much over the period.

Yes, Dubai and perhaps all over the world changes are occurring as quick and widespread as forest fire… 🙂

An impressive [flower?] sculpture. And the lighting is just right! 🙂
