Today started out with another journey that should have taken 20 minutes but took over an hour due to our terrible navigation skills. We took the monorail up to Atlantis to see what all the fuss was about; however as we were now short on time we couldn’t spend very long there 😔 there was an incredibly rude group of people that think pushing in was acceptable when boarding the monorail that we were at the front of the queue for.. oops did I tread on your dress? Silly me.
As you all know we love an afternoon tea and the one we had today at Jumeriah Al Qasr has definitely made the top 5. Everything was so so tasty. They even invited you up to the pastry table where you could help yourself to whatever you wanted.. hello gold leaf covered salted caramel chocolate lollipop!! We had a gorgeous view overlooking Burj Al Arab – what more could you want. Poo knife will definitely be needed.
Next we headed for the Burj Khalifa; the worlds tallest building and again had to encounter pusher in-ers. Some people just have no concept of a good old British queue. The view was amazing and we were lucky enough to watch the sun go down.
We got back on ground level to watch the fountains which was a fabulous display and decided our little trotters needed a rest. However the Dubai Mall, known as ‘the mother of all malls’ lived up to its name and to get through this to the metro station was at least a 2 mile walk. I don’t think I’ve ever been so pleased to get back to a hotel room!
