Dubai trip day-3

Ferrari world was so extremely impressive and very tiring . This was something really new that I have ever seen in my life. 

Today is  our third day of the trip. We decided to go to Dubai mall which is a huge shopping arena with the end number of shops. Designers showrooms, apparels, shoes, cosmetics, toys ,books and what not.. It's a shoppers paradise. And in the amidst there is an aquarium and an underwater zoo. Its so huge. It's like you are walking through a tunnel under the sea with so many varieties of fishes. You can see huge shark going across your head. Beautiful tiny fishes swimming all around you.  So we decided to take Avyaya in that aquarium. All this time while we were roaming in the mall ,he was sitting in his pram and he was becoming restless to get down and run. We made him stand and tried to show him the aquarium , initially he was running here and there ,up and down, didn't know where to go Ashe was too happy to be freed from his pram. Then he realized the new world around him. I thought he will be scared by looking at the ferocious looking shark with its teeth pointed outside. But no!! To my surprise he was clapping and tried to follow the shark. Started running after it. Of all the beautiful, tiny fishes in it he liked shark :o 

 Then we had to make him sit in his pram again. We showed him around and rather than looking at the new creatures in the zoo he was busy looking at the pretty teenagers . Bah! Finally we came out of the aquarium and had our lunch in the mall.

In the evening we were invited to a friend's place. I was so worried that he will be super naughty and what will they think. But when we reached there. He did 'jai' to the couple and also gave a peck to the hostess. Cute!!. They were also very kind enough to give him their cell to play with. The evening went quiet well. We had our dinner and Avyaya was fed by the hostess. He really enjoyed it.  Well! Then we returned and Avyaya went off to sleep in the car itself . When we reached the room I had to change his clothes while he was sleeping.  My little fellow got so tired today. :)

Dubai trip day-2

We were so tired the day before that we all got up at 9 am . Including Avyaya who usually gets up twice or thrice at night but today he dint as he was so tired. We had planned to go to Ferrari world in Abu Dhabi which is approximately 2 hours drive from Dubai . We had our breakfast in a restaurant and started towards Abu Dhabi. 

Ferrari work is awesome. I was slightly skeptical about going there as I thought I will not like it much there since I am not very fond of cars and their makes. But this was so different from what I had imagined . Avyaya enjoyed a lot there. Though he was not allowed to sit on any rides there as he is too young , I think he enjoyed more running up an down all around and climb on bench like small blue and white lighted pillars. He was so amazed to see ice skating ring. I bought one vanilla cone ice cream which he loved. He kept on holding my hand tightly all the while he was eating it not allowing me to move my hands the slightest. Whole dar we were touring the entire Ferrari world, not once did he cry or sleep. The best part for him was to sit on the Ferrari dummies and play with the steering wheel. Boys will be boys!! He was on it for more than half an hour and I had to drag him out of it. Phew!!

Then while returning we had our dinner and tea. Reached out hotel room. We were so tired but Avyaya started playing in the room. Finally we all settled and got lost in the world of ferraris in our dreams

Dubai trip day-1

On the 9th of December 2013, we started for our road journey to Dubai. Avyaya's baby seat had already been fixed a week before and he enjoyed sitting on it ( thankfully!! Because he hated it before ). The journey was fun as it's a nice weather here in muscat at this time of the year . Avyaya loved watching out of the window and on the way we saw camels which are rare species for Avyaya . This was his first introduction to Mr camel. When we entered Dubai his eyes opened the widest. In muscat we don't have sky-rise buildings and only brick cement houses , but here the buildings were all shining and glittering in the bright day light. The glasses were shimmering and reflecting glares. He was amazed. We reached our hotel and got a room on 6th floor. The first thing Avyaya did was to stand on the window and see the peepees on the road. Then to his amusement he saw plane flying really low, so big and loud. He clapped and waved byeeeeeeee!! 

After resting for a while we went to the Global Village. It is a fare kind of thing which has rides and beautiful stalls from all over the world. We were roaming from stall to stall with poor Avyaya tied to his pram. As he would run like an athlete if we make him walk. Or he would lie down on the floor and wriggle...... Aaah!! There was this Spanish stall where a girl was performing on a raised platform. Lovely music playing at the background. Avyaya was clapping and watching her so intensely that it seemed to me as if he is learning every step she is doing. Anyhow, we went through various stalls and at last had dinner at one of the food stalls. Avyaya also got one toy . And he was busy playing with it and also monitoring it. We came back to our hotel , tired and sleepy. Avyaya enjoyed a lot .
