The train station does looks funky at night!
Mmm it snowed?
The displays end with a hall
Our return saw a walk down a nicely forested cobble path
Departure day, & a morning shot to begin with!
Rita the queen of speed!
We owe many good shots from CJ!
The Medinat Jumeriah
View of the island from the beach near the night
Is that a mini desert I see?
For you engineers out there wondering how Enterprise ticks
The gang on the (lower) hills!
A scorpion!
Dinner's served!
empty....
On the train back to Cardiff!
Back on the castle greens again!
And your sights! :P
The zoo is rather nicely themed, especially this limestone cave
The entrance of the hotel
The place is nicely carpeted
Some bites back at the shopping area
views of the Mangrove swamps
And you can always ask questions when in doubt
The mall central fountain
and tiny tents...
the lake side "beach"
Back at the main atrium to the exit
I spy with my little eye...
feast your eyes on these!
But the views are already looking good!
we had to go on all fours at some points too
Phallic trees of pacman ghosts, you decide!
Camels included!
Overview of the palace front facade
This creepy guy is still following me!
Iconic tent-thingie included!
and our own pair of ducks too!
The place is constantly maintained below freezing
That's all folks!
and is home to few nice gardens too
Umm someone let me in?
New for 2010 is Th13teen
who could hear our echos across the valley
A resonable crowd, but otherwise quiet on most stretches on a hot noon day
the restaurant seating areas
Oh look a river otter!
The night is still young!
between each pillar structure sits a rather neat looking stained glass flower
