Our Trip away to Dubai

We the weekend just been Jen and went to Dubai for the weekend. It was a long weekend because school was having a friendship festival on the Saturday. We had helped out at all of the events so far so we skipped this one. We Even got to use our air miles to pay for the trip. We stayed in a nice 3 star hotel near the river. On the first day we went to the largest mall in the world. The mall of the emirates. The one with the indoor snowfield, we didn't go on this though. We wandered around and bought a few things.

The next day we went to the Wild Wadi. A water theme park. It was really fun and it was even better as there were no lines. On one ride and straight on to the next.
Later that night we started the mission to get pork ribs...
We had been getting a taxi from close to get the hotel. However I thought that we could a boat across the river then catch a taxi there. It only took about an hour to get the taxi. We got to El Paso a nice little bar/ restaurant. AND they had pork ribs YES...
And the were great. Getting home didn't take long apart from a bit of a traffic jam while in a taxi.

Then we checked out of our hotel and hung out at a mall, where I got some new running shoes (one of the main reasons for me to go there).

Then off back to the MIGHTY Doha. It was a nice trip where we had a nice break.
