A Yabbu Dhabi Time

Hugo and I have just returned from 5 days in Abu Dhabi / the wider Emirates staying with my brother Charlie and his wife Olivia.  It was the most glorious child-free time with BBQs on their roof terrace, days spent lounging by the pool reading trashy novels (it has been 3 years since I have been able to do that!)  and a wonderful 2 days spent travelling and camping on Dalma Island which is between Abu Dhabi and Qatar.

To feel proper heat on our bodies after over half a year languishing in the damp British climate was truly wonderful, and it has given us a much needed vitamin D boost (especially useful now that we are still in the midst of the worst "Deep Freeze" for half a century).

Here are some pics - top one is Hugo and I watching a pod of dolphins perform a leaping dance for us on Dalma Islan, below that, Liv and I cycling around the corniche in Abu Dhabi, and at the bottom, the view of the Grand Mosque which is quite spectacular.

Charlie and Liv - thanks for your wonderful hospitality - we will be back!
xx

Greetings, I believe your blog could possibly be having web browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening
in Internet Explorer, it's got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to give you a quick heads up! Aside from that, excellent blog!
