Today was the first and last time we carried our backpacks around! Dubai Mall is a little difficult to manoeuvre around when wearing 15kg on your back, quote Amelia Beer 'If there is any incentive not to get fat, this is it'. We couldn't even use the lifts and had to buy a first class ticket for the Metro Train because we couldn't squeeze into the busy economy carriages! Luckily first class is only 2 Dirham more than a standard ticket.
The Mall is breath taking, it takes a good 15 minutes to walk from one end to the other, and there is a whole level dedicated to designer shoes, heaven!
The mall hosts an underwater zoo (one of the world's largest aquariums), an Olympic size ice rink, a cinema, a souk and over 1000 shops! When we popped outside for a bit of sunshine we walked passed ferraris and chauffeur driven limos, can't imagine many people turning up to St.Davids2 in a ferrari for a shopping trip.
Whilst there, we watched the famous dancing fountains, they were both mesmerising and humorous; the way they swayed back and forth to the music as if they had their very own water hips was very entertaining. They last 2 minutes and show every half an hour, huge crowds gather and as we saw it just as the sun was setting it was a lovely atmosphere.
To end our short Dubai trip, we are sat having a drink, in a bar at terminal 3. It's been a fast few days and has taken a lot of adjusting to. We can't wait to get to Bangkok and be amongst the madness for 13 hours, but we will definitely be using the bag storage option at the airport!

Sue. Hi girls. Well...... had a bit of a shock reading your updates, saw pictures of Leon... thought to myself, who the heck is that, apparently he's in Belize travelling. Not sure where he popped up from lol. Hope you had good flight. I told you to watch your backpacks but carrying it with you at all times must be very hardgoing haha. Can imagine you both. Take care. xxx
