Andalucia’s Supermums Uncensored

Andalucia’s Supermums Uncensored

Andalucia’s Supermums – There used to be times when I could remember what 17 was like, the fun, the friends, the freedom. Those days are few and far between now. Tonight, however, I feel 17 again.

Our super organized supermum host Melissa has once again scouted for the most suitable location with the best deal for us for our ladies night.… Read the rest

Walking Zürich – Rathaus & Hochschulen

Susanna-Gossweiler-Platz

By far the best way to see a city is to walk it.  Particularly the compact old towns of Europe.  Today I am walking the Rathaus & Hochschulen. Not everyone has the ability, stamina or perhaps enthusiasm for this endeavor, walking from dawn till dusk (and often into the night as well).  … Read the rest

Tivoli Gardens

Celebrating in Copenhagen

Night in Nyhavn

It’s my birthday and I am celebrating in Copenhagen.  We have spent the morning on a boat tour of Copenhagen’s canals, after I have been spoiled with some lovely gifts first thing.  Now it’s time for lunch and we’ve landed in Nyhavn, one of the most recognizable and perhaps one of the most picturesque spots of the city.… Read the rest

Danny Bhoy

Danny Bhoy, Dubai Opera

Tonight, and Danny Bhoy, is a little surprise, an early anniversary celebration. It’s not a big one – the anniversary of our first date – but we like to mark the occasion.  Except I couldn’t find anything on for that night, so tonight it is.… Read the rest

Al Hadheerah

The Emirati cuisine

“Alright” I think.  It’s been suggested that we do a girl’s night at Al Hadheerah restaurant.  I’ve been here once before for an anniversary six months ago.  It was an experience then, the desert location, the open air, tantalising buffet and restaurant sunken into the sand. … Read the rest

Zaya Nurai Island

Zaya Nurai Island

“Where are you going?  Who are you going with? What time will you be home?”.

“Umm, I’m not really sure” I respond.  I’m not trying to avoid the questions, I just don’t really have the answers.  I’ve been invited along on a boat rally. … Read the rest

JA Palm Tree Court

JA Palm Tree Court from Pool Side
