I love visitors!

Having visitors is great! It revitalises the soul. Especially living over here with no family and friends living close by.

Last weekend, my cousin Judith, her husband Darin, and their two kids Joshua (ten) and Isabella (eight) came to stay with us on their way to Germany. Darin has some family living in Germany and is also planning to run the Berlin marathon, as you do!

We took them to see all the sights of Abu Dhabi, and a few in Dubai. Here's some photos.

A camel kiss for Joshua!


Desert sunset.


Fun in the sand.


Camel ride for Isabella and Josh.


At the Grand Mosque, only recently opened for visitors.


Josh on the big carpet.


Us inside the Grand Mosque (yes, that is me on the right!).

Isabella and her Henna Tattoo (don't worry, it's temporary!)

Joshua and Isabella are such good kids and they really seemed to enjoy the cultural stuff as well as things like the camels and dune bashing. We had such a fun time. I hope they are having a great time over in Europe.
