Second Day of Dubai

Today I woke up to an Imperial Club floor breakfast with many many options with a selection of fresh juices and infused waters, followed by a tour of Dubai from a helicopter. Might I say that we thought that going 400 metres to the heli-pad would be easy and that we wouldn't have to ask for a buggy but after two steps we knew that we had made a big mistake, but we hadn't realised that it was 41 degrees so we coming from New Zealand were practically melting. For all those mission impossible fans the helicopter I was in the helicopter that the action scenes were shot in for Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, anyway here are the photos that we took from the sky.

After that we all went to Aquaventure and went down all the water slides/water coasters except one... the
                                                            LEAP OF FAITH
Standing at a towering 95 feet the leap of faith is not for the faint of heart soaring through a tank shared and feared by many many sharks, as you appear out of a stone eagle's beak all scream shout cry as they zoom down the tall slide.

  1. We are enjoying all your photos and adventures but it sounds like you will be using the buggy all the time from now on. The world/earth islands look fascinating never heard of them before so will have to find out more - they look a little like the Punakaiki Rocks turned sideways and flattened.
