December 2012. Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Fujairah and Cape Town

We had a full apartment from the first week of December till the 2nd week of January. It has been a treat (but with all the love in the world  going out to our lovely guests) it is rather nice to have the place to our selves for a few weeks.

The Mums arrived!

 

                                                                                                                                                             

 

 

 We had the World Parachuting Championships 2012  in our airspace. From our apartment we could see lots of to-ing and fro-ings of aeroplanes and helicopters with people jumping out of them. Quite littering up the sky if you must know.....

 The national said this World Sky Diving Champs.

What I loved was this:

ooooo what that over the Burg Al Arab?

These fellows here gave us the display.....

The boozy old people.........
