My stomach feels like a ball.
It is totally stuffed, full, chock-a-block - of chicken shawermas...
I have a favorite place in Dubai where you get amazing shawermas, tabbouleh, hummus and fruit juice mixes (that are like desserts...) etc and I went there tonight - hence me sitting here now with a stomach big as a ball.
Let me tell you that I am thoroughly enjoying this holiday. :)
Yesterday I arrived, felt very excited, saw Kristina and Richard, went out for dinner, and then I crashed in bed.
Now it is early morning in Dxb and I am looking forward to everything this day has to offer!
Yep in a little bit I will be enjoying that pool, the sun and the ocean! Woop woop! LOVE holidays!
In February 2003 I made a pact with my friend Kristina.
If we were not married by the time we turned 40 we would go to Dubai, stay at the amazing hotel Royal Mirage and live like princesses for a while (until we ran out of money...).
Kristina is turning 40 next month...
But she is married...
So the saga could end right there.
But it doesn't!
At 8.am tomorrow morning my plane takes off and some hours later I will be arriving at DXB international airport surrounded by all the familiar smells and sights (can't believe that is is almost 15 years since I lived there now...).
Dubai i have missed you!
And Kristina I have missed you too!
Looking forward to days in the sun by the pool, looking forward to lots of laughs and chats and looking forward to chicken shawarmas!
We sat in a red sofa on a rooftop in the middle of HK surrounded by high buildings last night whilst watching Point Break.
Fabulous!
The Easter holidays allowed us to get relaxing beach time as well as catch up with old friends (host parents) time.
The sun was shining most of the time and we have had yummy desserts every day!
You can't have a much better Easter than that :)
From a big city to a completely different view.
It is time for Easter holidays on the beach!
Under a swaying tropical tree with a sweeping view of the South China Sea is where I will be eating breakfast, lunch and dinner during tow days time.
I'm not going alone, am of course taking both Teddy and Ant but also Marta. Our 'front yard' will be one of Hong Kong's longest beaches and our agenda will be pretty empty... Relaxing times in the sun, hikes and good food - that is about it.
Happy Easter everyone!
I heart Shanghai.
Spent a beautiful weekend there with Ant.
Friday night was devoted to dinner and massage.
Saturday was spent on the Bund.
We walked the Bund, we felt Shanghai chic on the Bund and did cocktails, afternoon tea on the Bund as well as listened to an afternoon poetry reading on the Bund, we did a headstand on the Bund.
We walked in old parts of the city, we walked through bustling markets.
And on Sunday we chilled and shopped in the charming old French quarters of the city.
