About the trip We’re back in the UK after a long, but very fulfilling, couple of weeks travelling to Seoul, Singapore, and Dubai – with a day trip to Malaysia while we were in Singapore. There have been ups and downs – we saw some amazing things in some places, […]
A full day in Dubai
We’ve just got back to the hotel after an incredible evening in Dubai. The city itself wasn’t much to write home about, but it ended with cocktails in a perfect setting – overlooking the sea at one of the world’s most famous hotels. This created memories that will stick with […]
