Tea in the rainforest
22. august 2019, De forente arabiske emirater ⋅ 🌙 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.Les mer

Maree's non alcoholic tour of Europe
25. august 2019, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
Going around Europe and asking for a non- alcoholic beer was SO easy. They were also very nice, they know how to brew a beer. I even recognised a few from my stash from Dan Murphy's at home
