Today has been a busy day. We unpacked a few more things this morning while R put the handles on the unit in the dining part. Then we went to IKEA where we got a wardrobe for the entrance. Any storage is needed! Lunch at home and then we went to neighbouring Sharjah to visit Desert Park and its Arabia´s Wildlife Centre. It was a nice trip, the kids enjoyed the animals but it was slightly distressing to see the arabic leopard that looked extremely bored in his little plot of land walking in eights, round and round and round. They had lots of arabic wildlife on display, everything from snakes, rodents, lizards, birds and wild cats. The coffee shop was amazingly cheap, we bought two juices, one bottle of water and some popcorn for the kids and it amounted to 9 dhs (about 1 euro 90 cents)! We also checked out the Childrens Farm and the Natural History Museum and Botanical Museum in the park before we headed back to Dubai for dinner at Nando´s. I have to say Childrens park was nothing special but the kids enjoyed feeding the animals from the hay that was provided for that purpose. At the natural history museum you could do some experimenting, like creating a sandstorm, and learing about weather in Sharjah etc. We all enjoyed the day but now its time for bed.
