Dubai............. Atalntis The Palm

Its magic to put it midly , Atlantis is a celebration of the ocean. It is a majestic ocean-themed destination that opened in September 2008 and is one of the world’s most sought after resorts. Atlantis, The Palm has 1,539 guest suites, each with an ocean or palm view. If you’re lucky (or rich / famous ) enough, you can even stay in the famed Bridge Suite which spans the Royal Towers.

Atlantis The Palm

Housed at the resort is the famed Aqua venture Water park, the largest water park in the Middle East with heart-stopping water slides set in a lush, luxurious tropical landscape. My son did decide to  to ride the highest water slides in the Dubai.  One tip here bring your own water out and waves flip flop etc as the ground is baking hot ! And don't forget the suncream,high factor! !

Yes that's my son then age 11 going down that slide!

You can visit Dolphin Bay and swim with the dolphins, or The Lost Chambers, a maze of underwater corridors and passageways providing a journey through the ancient city of Atlantis. You can even feed the rays (which my husband and son did ).

 The resort is also home to one of the largest open-air marine habitats in the world, with some 65,000 marine animals in lagoons.

So Rollie ate his own eye holes out   (true) but what is he thinking????

Love speaks a thousand volumes

We often we under estimate teens, moan about them use the word tumble weed in a sentence or two. But what is life without the odd moan or two?. So below is my sons poem he's in the top English set at a very posh state school ( so posh its almost private!) and the education is second to none.





My loves for you was like a thousand roses
My heart fell, when I saw you
Your reflection is as beautiful as the moon
The light that becomes of your scent

But when you spoke to me you gave me tears
You made me shrink and wobble in fear
you said I was blind , in my own contact
You made me cry when you walk away

but I will faithful, caring , truthful to you
I will makes promises to keep you safe
You will be in my heart for ever
When you fell into my arms
