Champagne and Chocolate at Vintage, Wafi City

After hearing of a champagne and chocolate fondue special, Katrin and I were keen to check it out. With this in mind we bundled the boys into a taxi last Saturday and set off to see what all the fuss was about.

















Wafi City is a Mall/Hotel complex on the other side of the creek from where we live and for some reason (known only to Dubai) it is designed in the shape of a pyramid with all the necessary accoutrements to mimic ancient Egypt. Here is Jan tickling Anubis as he guards the entrance to the hotel.

















We were soo tucking in to yummy chocolate fondues served with biscuits, marsh mallows and fruit alongside the promised bubbly

Aerosmith Concert

Wow! What can I say? At almost 60 Steve Tyler still manages to rock a stadium packed with people.

There were ups and downs - 40-odd degree heat is just way too hot for outdoor concerts plus it was disappointing to not hear Crazy, Pink or Janie Got a Gun.

But he played Walk this Way, Living on the Edge, Sweet Emotion and I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing which had all the girls screaming hysterically.

Below are some photos:

Surprise!!!

Sitting around baking while we wait for Aerosmith to come on:

Somewhere WAAAAAAY back there is the stage plus the eager beavers who paid R1900 for Cage Tickets

Aw shucks:

The crowd behind us:

Is that them?

It is , it is!!
