Christmas at Ski Dubai

On Christmas Day we went to Ski Dubai. It was very cold and lots of fun.

We went on the tube run. This is a video of me on tube run.


We also went on the toboggan run. Me and my dad went on it together and I got down first.
After that me and my two brothers made snow angels.

After Ski Dubai we were so cold that we went to get some hot chocolate.

Before we went to Ski Dubai,we opened our presents. I got a mobile phone, the Pocket Dangerous Book for Boys, Guinness World Records Book 2009 and last but not least a brand new bike.

After we found the bones we went to the Bab Al Shams hotel resort to have a drink. As we were heading back to the car we stopped to have a camel ride.

This is a picture of the camel sitting down afterwards. I'm the person in the back seat and my brother Damian is at the front.

This is a picture of the landscape I could see from the top of the camel.

After the camel ride I held a falcon. I stroked its feathers and they were so smooth. After that I saw a hunting display with the falcons.

It was a typical day in Dubai. We planned to do one thing and ended up doing something completely different!

We drove into the desert and stopped by some titanic sand dunes. Me and my brother Damian climbed up the biggest and most mountainous dunes. When we got to the top we ran, walked and rolled down the dunes.

I got sand in my shoes, socks and pockets.

Eventually it was time to go on. As we drove on we stopped and found some bones in the sand.

Two days ago I went to the Dubai Autodrome to watch some races.

Yesterday I was supposed to go again, but it was called off because of heavy rain. This is a picture of what happened to the Autodrome.

So instead we drove into the desert. Luckily the rain didn't manage to get to the desert.

Dubai Autodrome race stopped by sand storm

We went to Dubai Autodrome today because there was an exciting race meeting on. This is me on Steve Blackney's motorbike in the pits, which we visited after the race. He raced in the Sportbike Championship. I also watched the Gulf Radical Cup.

It was very exciting. I enjoyed the motorbike race the most.

We had to leave early because a bad sand storm picked up. In fact it was so bad that it blew tables, chairs and glass bottles all over the floor. It even knocked down lots of trees! There was so much sand in the air we could barely see the track.

Al Aqqa beach, Fujairah

A starfish at the beach in the sea at Al Aqqa, Fujairah. The sea had lots of big waves to play in and was a lot of fun. But parts of the beach had lots of rubbish on it and people kept driving their cars and quad bikes up and down it, making it a bit dangerous. We were near Snoopy Island. Can you guess why it's called Snoopy Island?

The answer is because it's shaped like Snoopy when he's lying down.

Tigers in Dubailand

Did you know that there are 2 brother Bengal tigers in Dubailand? They came from Dubai zoo and both eat 4 chickens a day. If you go outside and look through the glass they will come right up to you. I enjoyed seeing them.

You can go to this bit of Dubailand any day and it's free. There are more things to do and see - look at the links to my photos:

T-Rex footprint spotted

I hope the T-Rex that made this footprint isn't roaming Dubai. If he is I hope he gets a bill for making this immense hole!

Panda riding in Dubailand

In Dubailand they also have some pandas. Look at my new ride!

Space shuttle in Dubailand

I went to Dubailand yesterday and I got to see a space shuttle. Luckily the engines didn't fire up when I was under them!

Wii boxing my brother

I had a great time beating my brother at Wii boxing. I ignored Duncan's rubbish advice! What do grown ups know about gaming?!!

Winter fun in the sun

This is me on the Bin Majid beach resort in Ras Al Khaimah in October. We also spent time in the resort's swimming pool and jacuzzi. I am glad I'm not in the UK because I wouldn't get so much fun in the sun.

Roman gladiator arena

Gladiators used to battle each other in this arena in Stobi, Macedonia. There are many Roman ruins like these around Macedonia.

Flaming dragon

At a barbecue, I thought these flames looked like a dragon.

Dogs in a cage

In Vodno in Macedonia we saw these dogs kept in a cage. They looked very sad. I didn't like the way they were trapped in.

Green hot chilly peppers

This is me and my brother on my uncle's scooter in Macedonia. But the motorbike below is the one that I really like and want.
