We had a couple of trips to the new Dubai Mall so as to take advantage of the air conditioning. As with much of Dubai it has the biggest of a lot of things. There are the waterfalls which are 3 -4 floors in height with lifesize divers.
There is the aqarium where even the fish seem larger than those you see in the sea.....
Then there are the fountains that are over 1 Km in length with 5 of these "rings"...
and of course all overlooked by the tallest building in the world (due for completion Sept '09).
Gavin, Happy belated birthday greetings! Can't believe that we missed this important date :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that Lianne and family finally connected with you. Amazing photo, any others?
Keep on blogging.....Steve & Jill
Full of admiration not only that the annex was finally erected but also that you find time to write. Meanwhile I hope that this is the best way to communicate with you. Just in case all goes into cyber space I shall also email Helen.
ReplyDeleteYou can feel some satisfaction in missing out on some cold Canberra weather. Yesterday was sunny so our bike ride around Lake Burley Griffin was very pleasant. Other Weetangera news is that 23 Darmody Street is substatially demolished. It looks to be slow work possibly done by the owners. Yes I do venture into the street but Myles resists.
Impressed with the Dubai photos. How much did the Hallings invest in shopping while escaping the heat!! Hopefully Serena is faring really well and that you cannow allenjoy your holiday to the fullest

Great osee you all relaxing together. The Barge Trip is something I would like to do especially as able to tavel and see sights off the beaten track.
ReplyDeleteEaton has always intersted me so thanks for sharing experience.
We are escaping some of the 10 degree days in Canberra by escaping to Central Australia then Perth on 13 August.
Internet access may be difficult for us until we are really settled in Villa 32 Kangara Waters [Villa and atmosphere there is looking good]
