Holiday Highlights

Just a couple of journal entries from mine and Glyns trip to Europe via Dubai!

Biggest mall in the world and crazy gold souks

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES | Sunday, 28 June 2009 | Views [47] | Comments [1]

Today we went to mall of dubai, it was so massive, it had a huge aquarium and an ice skating rink. Weirdly glyn did more shopping then me. It had so many shops and i even noticed a few australian brands. We had lunch at tgi fridays and it literally made me sick!! After a short recovery we continued shopping and went to the supermarket, they sell everythin even fridges!! Over here when u buy fruit u are meant to get the price i didnt no this and boy did i get some death stares when the people realised she checkout chick had to run and get it like 500m away!!

We then caught a taxi to the gold souks, which is in real dubai, it was quite hot and scabby! There aee people evert where trying to drag u into there shops, a man took us to his apartment full of fake bags! We also looked at jewellery i really wanted an 18c white gold ring, it was beautiful and had 6 princess cut diamonds at a little more than a carat, but i decided i couldnt afford it this early in the trip plus didnt wanna look after it on contiki!!

Although i did try on a 2 million dollar bracelet :)

 I also bought some other souvineers For dinner we all went to mexican just down the road it was yummy.
