The girly morning at the hairdressers wasn't quite what we planned-the hairdressers had no electricity. (pity the poor afternoon appointments-at least the water was still hot when we were there) We had to troll the streets trying to find a kind soul with electricity for me to get my hair dry. Good job The Grapes pub were kind.

The flights were all on time and we duly arrived in Dubai at 7.30 local time, picked up a taxi and got to D&H's around 10am ish a quick!!??? nap and we were ready to holiday. When Tom and Olivia arrived home from school we went for a walk on the beach, Chris & Tom hit a few golf balls into the sea (It must be a boy thing?). It was very pleasant weather wise-not too hot. When Candice arrived home from her after school horse riding, we had a family meal and C & J promptly retired to bed.

Monday we awoke fresh for more holidaying. Helen was the taxi driver and we went to the Creek and the Souk and played lets not get collered by the stall holders, we almost got away but H was dragged into a spice stall to "have smell at this, what is it?" (I don't think she ever found out what it was).

A quick look at the Municiple Museum (and I mean quick) before we headed back to the car via the Creek on an abra and of for a relaxing lunch.
