The Not So Average Traveller on a Venture of #Loveandtravelhugs©
Somehow, between last weekend and this weekend I became an Adult. No seriously, I drank Brandy on it's own. As an evening sipper. I mean the last time I drank Brandy I was a teenager and we were mixing it with anything and everything we could. What did you order at clubs? Brandy and Coke. …

One of the things that outright struck me about Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and something that will strike yourselves is the sheer size. I mean, yes there is the all knowing and powerful Burj Khalifah, but I'm talking about everything else. I come from Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa, we have big things. Huge mountains, and …
