And so it was that unless the Mr took some leave he would lose it forever! So off we headed to Deira in Dubai for 3 nights in February with the intention of visiting some photo-friendly hotspots and gathering supplies that we've been looking forward to for some time . . .
DAY ONE:
As we drove along Sheikh Zayed Road, we made the customary stop @ Ibn Battuta Mall. It is always good to stock up on the in/famous brownies from The Lime Tree Cafe. Continuing along we were surprised to see that Dubai was actually made up of two parts . . . All this time, we thought we had seen it all!
Having navigated our way through, we finally checked in and were upgraded to a suite - splendid!
As we were settling in, it became apparent that we had left the Mr's suit bag @ home, so off we trotted to the nearest mall for some clothes - we eventually scored some quite nice bits :)
Home for dinner and wine {Spaghetti in the Whorish Fashion and a bottle of red. Followed by brownies.}
DAY TWO:
We spent the morning @ the Jumeirah Town Centre Mall so that I might finally enjoy Craftland in the flesh. Wonderful! Inspirational! I spent up big!
Much to my delight there was also a Paper Lane in the centre, so I selected some beautiful paper and a couple of you-beaut hole punches. I'm pleased to say that I have actually used some do a project already :)
Home for a kip and then the priority was to make our way to the Spice Souk. The Mr would have many a photographic opportunity and I would buy whatever tickled my fancy. Although the weather was wretched with poor visibility, we enjoyed a successful outing and made some new friends... 'Best price for you my friend'
DAY THREE:
Having done a little research to determine what the coolest dining experience would be for us - I settled on Jamie's Italian in Festival City. You can see my 'Dining Out - Jamie's Italian' post @ Books Wine and Everything.
We then made our way to the other side of the creek and serendipidously came across a Dubai Shopping Festival Mardi Gras . . .
Home for a Rotana Club Sandwich and Pizza Marinara as the Green Curry was a complete flop! Best not to season the delicate curry with Hawaiian Ash Salt! Evidently it turns the lovely green curry into an overseasoned grey goo - yucko! Nevermind - Redemption is only a phone call and a 20 minute wait away :)
DAY FOUR:
Down for our last breakfast buffet. Pack up. Check out and head home in time for dinner and a movie. Work tomorrow!
Sunday-itis never felt so rotten!
