I had a great day shopping in Dubai yesterday! I was dissapointed not to find any water fountains at all! (I was talking to a cat-loving friend of mine who lives there, and she also wants one, so we are going to order them off the net, and split the shipping costs).

Here is the view from our hotel (It's a bit dull as there had been a sand-storm that morning)

Here are Ally and Connor testing one of the toys (neither of them was very interested, so it may end up at the shelter):

This really made me laugh - it's a mouse that chirps like a bird every time it is moved - I think it gave Ally a fright (look at the 2nd picture):
