Out of Africa!

Holiday time! Dubai here we come!

We arrived at the Novatel hotel at midnight Dubai time - Woke at 6:30am - Been a long day

The temperature ranged from 37 at night to 43 during the  day hence we spent most of the day here....

This is the view from the tallest building in the world: the Burj Kalifa The boys are looking forward to making their new lego set when they get home. 

Dubai Mall - full of amazing things - waterfalls, aquarium, ice rink, live jazz ....

And then off to Sydney Australia!

More swimming- At Olympic Park Aquatic centre,

Sunday saw us at St. Paul's Castle Hill, an anglican church here that has an ongoing relationship with Nairobi Chapel, Kenya. We were warmly welcomed by Kath and son Caleb who had visited Nairobi chapel while we were there. Eric, one of the minister's and his wife kindly added us to their guest list for lunch and we had an amazing Aussie BBQ with their Bible group - more wonderful people to meet. 

Today is the last full day in Sydney - Off to Paddy's markets.

Tomorrow starts EARLY - We need to be on a 5:30 train to ensure we get to our 9:15 flight back to Christchurch. See you soon NZ!
