Sun and sandy dunes for days
26 agosto 2019, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C
14hrs and two weary travellers later we landed in Dubai. First stop the Dubai Mall to see what everyone was talking and wow, definately not disappointed. Home to the largest suspended aquarium it had over 400 species of sharks and fish, a pop up star wars life size exhibit and lots of shopping. We managed to catch the Dubai Fountains, world's largest choreographed fountain, in action which was exquisite. We walked around the Burj Khalifa struggling to find the entrance only to discover it was in the mall. It is the world's tallest tower with a staggering height of 829.8m.Leggi altro

A wander in the morning found us at La Mer Beach, a shoreline on the Arabian golf, with street art and a harmonious blend of contemporary and minimalist design. We returned at night to see it all lit up and enjoy some of the amazing food.Leggi altro

A little more exploring of the Dubai mall, and visiting the aquarium again, filled the last bit of the morning before we flew out to Paris. 7hrs later we landed and were driven crazily through the streets of Paris to our Hotel the Ronceray Opera, a quaint little place.Leggi altro

Paris
30 agosto 2019, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
What a breathtakingly, magical place the city of Paris is. We spent the day on the hop on hop off bus checking out the sites of the city. Some of the highlights were Arc de Triomphe, Sacrè Coeur Basilica and it's views of the city, Musèe d'Orsay which had works by Van Gogh and Monet on display and the Citē de l'Architecture et du Patrimoine. We passed Notre Dame but it was all closed off from public access due to repairs. We finished with a sunset cruise on the Seine and watching the sunset at the Eiffel Tower.Leggi altro

Art and gardens
31 agosto 2019, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
A day of meandering through Jardin des Tuileries Gardens, discovering the beautiful works of Monet and Picasso at the Musèe de l'Orangerie and playing find and seek with the Mona Lisa at the Louvre we really got our step count up. We stopped in at Les Caves du Louvre where we tried some French wines and discovered what makes it different to our wines. Another visit to the Eiffel Tower and a quick viewing of the Paris Aquarium had us exhausted!Leggi altro

From bones to breasts..
1 settembre 2019, Francia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
A later start to the morning had us enjoying some freshly baked pastry while our laundry was running. We wandered through Musèe Grevin the Paris wax museum and then enjoyed some chocolate at the Choco Story. A quick stop to buy some shoes as Amy's broke from all the walking and then off to the Catacombes which house over 2 million people's bones from through history. We finished the night off at Moulin Rouge and then some live music and dinner at Le Chat Noir where Amy tried escargot... and liked it.Leggi altro

Eurostar adventures
2 settembre 2019, Inghilterra ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Feeling a bit like a packhorse we made our way on the metro to the Eurostar where we caught the train to London. A quick taxi ride had us arrive at our hotel St Giles in the afternoon. We walked around the streets for the afternoon and enjoyed a beer and burger while watching street performers in Leicester Square. We had a look in Lego and M&M world then window shopped all the way back to our hotel.Leggi altro

Steps galore...
3 settembre 2019, Inghilterra ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We set out early in the morning and visited St Paul's Cathedral where we climbed the 528 steps to the Golden Gallery and were rewarded with beautiful views of the city. A wander through the Tower Bridge had us walking over the clear glass East and west walkways before having a tour of the engine room. We then had a quick stop at the Tower of London and viewed the crown jewels before taking a cruise on the river Thames. Our stop first was the Cutty Sark which turned out to be the fastest British tea clipper of its time. We then went up the river enjoying the jokes of our tour guide to the London Eye were we finished the day of with dinner amazing views.Leggi altro
