I got a slow cooker some time ago. After a couple of disasters attempting curries I packed it away. Finally dug it out to try a whole chicken and it came out really nice!

Hubby brought home a box of Krispy Kreme halloween doughnuts.

Day 300 – Tuesday 27th October

Today we went to the old part of Dubai, Deira, for some shopping and then up the Burj Khalifa in the afternoon. Stunning views! Bee was scared and wouldn’t let go of our hands as it was too high!

Today we went for a walk down the marina, and ended up at Jumeriah Beach. Had lunch there and then back to the hotel as had a desert experience booked for the evening.

Day 302 – Thursday 29th October

Today we went to Dubai Creek. Missed the dolphin show so watched a parrot show instead. There was soft play aswell so Bee enjoyed that. Spent most of the day there and then had dinner on a boat down the marina in the evening.

Day 303 – Friday 30th October

Today was spent at Abu Dhabi and saw The Grand Mosque. Such a beautiful, peaceful place. Saw the Formula 1 track and also passed by Ferrari World. Wanted to see Emirates Palace but sadly that was shut on a Friday. However we stopped off at Heritage Village and saw some history of UAE. Hubby also got to see one of his friends who he hasn’t seen since he got married. Got back to the hotel and finished packing to leave the hotel at 11pm.

Day 304 – Saturday 31st October

Arrived back in the UK at 6.30am to cold and fog! But good to be back as missed Rosie! She was glad to get home.
