Some images from our travels
during the past decade.
London
Paris
Dubai
In June 2020 we were supposed to be
visiting Africa again.
While we are in good health….
…the Safari has been postponed…
…until next year…hopefully.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Fabulous
~~~~~
fabulous
extraordinary, especially extraordinarily large.
“fabulous riches”
~~~~~
Nowhere near the largest…
…building in Dubai,
…however, fabulous was the only adjective….
used to describe our High Tea experience….
…and the interior of…
…of Dubai’s…
…Burj Al Arab.
Certainly an extraordinary building.
And we will never forget the gold flakes in our first drink.

Escalator inside Dubai’s
Burj Al Arab.

Included a colour version just to show the difference.

Finally, our accommodation in Vienna
was at the Imperial Riding School…
…where there were some long straight walks to our rooms.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Nervous
~~~~~
nervous
easily agitated or alarmed.
Just before Christmas 2018…
…we rescued ‘Smudge’ from a local act shelter.
We renamed him Smudge.
It took him all summer to get used to his new home
and he still has not ventured any closer
than around 10 metres from the house.
He is good friends with Taji and bullies Candi at play.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Chic
~~~~~
chic
elegantly and stylishly fashionable.
After living out of a suit case for nearly a month
we both decided a new set of clothes was in order
for our 2016 High-Tea at Dubai’s
Burj Al Arab.
I thought MGW looked rather chic
in her new full length evening wear.

Word-of-Day-Challenge-Delight
~~~~~
delight
please (someone) greatly.
“an experience guaranteed to delight both young and old”
In October 2016 it was a delight to take…
High Tea in the
Burj Al Arab’s
Sky View Bar
(200 metres above sea level, on the 27th floor)
and…
watch the sun setting over
The Palm Jumeirah,
in Dubai.
30th Wedding Anniversary
For our Thirtieth Wedding Anniversary
MGW booked us a hot air balloon ride
over Melbourne.
Last year another delightful surprise with
First Class Dining aboard
The Q Train
This year it was High Tea at
the Langham Hotel
in Melbourne.
All experiences could only be described
as delightful outings.

About two years before our 2013 safari to South Africa
we were told of High Tea at the Bur Al Arab in Dubai.
At the ninth hour our trip to the Serengeti via Dubai
was changed to Kruger National Park
in South Africa.
No Dubai, unless a long detour!
It took us another three years before we had
any hope of being anywhere near Dubai.
We decided to spend a few nights in Dubai,
the Burj Al Arab is well out of our price range,
and the first thing we did was book the
Burj Al Arab High Tea
as one of our outings.
Fast forward to last week,
and MGW had book us High Tea
in Melbourne as a
Wedding Anniversary outing.
All served on Wedgewood china…
the experience was a little different
to the Burj Al Arab…
however, both experiences
had delicious endings.
And better yet Melbourne provided us with
a teapot of freshly made tea to wash it all down.
THEN, I had to find another notch in my belt.
