Gitex

This week the Gitex Trade Fair was on in Dubai. It is a technology trade fair where you can go and check out all the latest gadgets. Here is Mehdi on Casey Stoner's Ducati. Stoner is sponsored by Sandisk who had a display there. I got a new label maker which I am super exited about and Mehdi came home with a new telly so he's also stoked!

Atlantis Aquaventure

Back in Dubai the weather is cooling down a bit. It's been averaging about mid thirties in the last few weeks.

A new aqua park has opened in time for winter in the new Atlantis Hotel on the Palm Island Jumeira. It's the biggest water park outside the USA, and it's pretty cool!

The Atlantis Hotel

A view of the Burj Al Arab from the park.

Me at the shark tank, there are two slides that go through it in perspex tubes!

The view from the top of the slide tower.

The view from the slide tower over the park and the palm back to the city.

Be Em Wee

During his visit to Munich, Mehdi also found time for the BMW museum and production tour.

He found Jess' old car.

And her next one! Plenty of room for a baby seat, don't know where Ayden's gonna sit though?

A 1951 concept car.

Grub vom Octoberfest

Mehdi and I both got the chance to go to Octoberfest this year, but not together : (
We still had a great time though, here are some of our pics!

A horse drawn beer cart, lay off Friar Tuck!
Look at all those barrels of beer, mmmm. The beer served at Octoberfest is specialy brewed with an extra kick just for this festival!

One of the many beer houses set up just for this festive month. There are fourteen in total and the challenge is to have a beer in each one. I got through a huge two...~

Inside one of the beer tents, it's chaos. Great umpa band though!

Broste! This is me and Carla already a bit unsteady half way through our second (litre of) beer!
