    Tea in the rainforest

    22 agosto 2019, Emirati Arabi Uniti ⋅ 🌙 35 °C

    After our bus trip we had tea at the Rainforest Cafe, 25% off because we went to the Aquarium last night.
    It was so wacky it was great. Kids would love it, the animals moved every 10-15 minutes.
    You could also see bits of the aquarium and fish swimming past. Lovely.
    Food was great too.    Leggi altro
