Down to the last drop...

It seems strange that Geoff adores coffee (drinking multiple cups a day) and Beth has never actually had a cup of coffee.

So, inspired by the delightful aromas and backdrop of the Nespresso in Dubai Mall, we pulled up a seat at the bar counter and enjoyed a small cup.

The vanilla latte was quite tasty but it will be a while before the intensity of regular coffee appeals...

Adam, this one is for you...

 

We are writing this post in honour of our nephew, Adam, the keenest car enthusiast we have ever known….

It was a perfect weekend for the Emirates Classic Car Festival – bright and warm outside, but not too hot.

Hundreds of magnificent cars – ranging from Henry Ford’s Model T to the cars of royalty to the latest Mini Coopers - lined Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, the main street of Downtown Dubai. 

Some cars had tents to shield them from the sun.  Others were out in their full glory.  All were pristine and glorious. 

Visitors could stroll along at their leisure, investigating some cars more thoroughly, snapping photos of others, even stopping for lunch somewhere along the route. 

It seemed a bit strange for us to go to a car festival when we don’t even own a car…but it has certainly given us inspiration and ideas should we ever choose to buy one!

Our lunch stop!

First Tennis Tournie...

Geoff conveniently signed us up for the first Burj Khalifa Tennis Tournament and then booked a business trip for that same weekend thereby forcing him to miss the tournament.

Even more conveniently, Beth only learned of this change after the deadline for withdrawing from the tournament had passed.

Beth showed Geoff though, winning the women's leg of the tournament in a high-drama match...
