We are already preparing for our next major road trip and completing our travel blog along the way. If you read our travel blog and enjoy it, please let us know? If we do not hear from you, NO POINT you being a subscriber. Sadly a few make it tough for the remainder. We write the travel blog because we enjoy doing it, but only publish it so others can enjoy it too. Like Facebook, unless you have a 'special' status with us, if we do not hear from you with some feedback on our adventures, we can only assume you are not reading it and will REMOVE you. =================================================... read more

Today we had planned a whistle stop visit to Bracknell to complete our shopping list, but there has been an accident nearby, so it would be too risky time wise. We have most of the items we want, so everything else will have to wait till next time. Not so bad really as we are nearly up to the maximum 100 kilos luggage hold baggage we have for our flight to Tenerife. After a lazy morning packing all our new purchases, we popped in to see George´s cousins Cliff and Mary and share some of holiday stories with them. We have also put some of our better photos together for them to look through on a slide show. It was nice to catch up with them, as we have not seen them since our holiday last ... read more

Overnight, Theresa has come down with the same as George has had for the last couple of days. As tomorrow is a long travelling day, we decided to cancel our planned visit to the Green Planet and concentrate on some relaxation and slow packing. At lunch time, we got the metro and bus and went to Ravi´s in Satwa. We visited a Ravi´s restaurant whilst in Malaysia last year and had hoped we would get to visit here during this holiday. We have really been looking forward to this as we know maximum quality is assured. The taste buds were destined to be left very much positively tingling. Ravi´s is a typical localised Indian restaurant and has a good reputation in Dubai with both visitors and locals alike. The food was all freshly cooked and very ... read more

Today is the start of another weekend, so we have another brunch booked. This time we are at the Glasshouse in the Hilton on the Creek. It’s an intense Mediterranean themed meal. The map shows the metro station is close by to the hotel, so we are getting off at Union Station where we will start our walk in the direction of the Hilton. Unfortunately, it looks like the map is not quite right, and we start off heading in the wrong direction. After stopping at the Radisson and the Sheraton for directions, we eventually make it to the Hilton. Being outside walking for a prolonged period of time at lunchtime was not on our agenda for today so we arrive at the hotel rather hot and bothered. At least they have air conditioning to help ... read more

We have nothing planned for today, so we spend the morning on the roof top sunbathing and swimming. It was great to have some time to sunbathe in amongst all the visiting we are doing. For lunch today, we wander into the Mall of the Emirates food court. No vouchers to use for today, so we end up at two different venues. George had Texas Chicken again. He thinks this is maybe as good as his old favourite KFC. Theresa tried out Magic Wok. We have tried them once in this trip, but that was in Dubai Mall and unfortunately, the food was not hot enough. Today’s food was as hot as you would expect it to be. Maybe we will give them another try. George has been feeling a bit under the weather for a ... read more
