Friday 26th- the weekend

We woke up quite late and went for a drive around. Today is Simons only day off. Katie and Simon pointed out some different places and gave us some interesting facts like Dubai has 20% of the worlds cranes. Just looking in one spot i tried to count the cranes i got to 50 and was over it there is seriously that many everywhere!

We went to brunch (which is a very expat thing to do apparently its for the parents to get smashed and the kids go to the kidsclub) Brunch was amazing. it was at a 5 star hotel and was better than i could of imagined. There was so much food and it was all you could eat. No kidding i had about 4 plates full of stuff and then 3 plates full for desert. Fatty Fatty! It had every type of food imaginable. Asian-where you tell the chef exactly how to make your fried rice, italian, french breads and pastries, seafood-including whole crabs, sushi, roasts and the most AMAZING deserts ever. It had a chocolate fountain for fondue, and freshly made waffles and icecream! AHH so beautiful. In my first plate of desert i had white chocolate mousse, marshmallow fondue, creme brulee, devil cake, hedgehog slice, next i had a massive slice of strawberry shortcake which was beautiful, then waffles and icecream. yum

When we went to get Ash from the kids club, there was a jumping castle and the most beautiful chandeliers.

When we got home everyone had a nap except me and Asha. Then we had beers in the front yard with Kim, a lady from sydney who lives in the front of their villa in a little apartment thing. We then got pizza hut for tea, which is directly behind their house. it was really yummy, and even had stuffed crust which glyn was very impressed with!

We also had vanilla vodka and ginger ale. it was sooo nice tasted like creaming soda. Michael Jackson also died today which is soo random.

We had a pretty early night ready for a big day tomorrow!
