Oh dear - I am really exhausted!
Two friends from England arrived last Saturday to stay with me for a week, so I have been juggling work and play all week. Fortunately my friends have visited Abu Dhabi before so they know the city and they can always find things to do - or to buy... they love shopping!
On Sunday after work I drove them to Dubai to the Tennis Championships. That was fun but we didn't see any famous players. We went out to eat and shop on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. On Thursday, we went to the exhibition at the Emirates Palace and had tea there, too. Then we went to Abu
Dhabi Mall and did some more shopping.
On Friday I drove to Dubai. First we went to Bedayer because they wanted to see some sand dunes. We didn't try the quad bikes, but maybe I will do that next time my daughter comes to stay! Then we went to Dubai Mall. We walked around it and also took some photos of the Burj Dubai. After that I drove to Palm Island and we went into the Atlantis Mall and The Lost Chambers. I was a bit disappointed with The Lost Chambers because there was no information about the fish and the area seemed very small. Anyway, it was a good day out, but very tiring.
This morning my friends went to the gold souk and spent loads of money - and then I took them to the airport.
We had a lovely time together and I am so happy that they came to visit me.
