my complicated life

we decided to have our last gimik before summer fully kicks in. we went to Al Ain Zoo for a change, so lance can see other animals aside from his dad's friends. haha. the zoo was about two hours drive from abu dhabi. it was easy to locate as al ain is a tourist friendly city. no busy streets to confuse the first time travellers like us.

we reached the place around 10AM. lance had a very short sightseeing as the sun was scorching hot already, that early huh!!! we (lance and me) just content ourselves to rest in the airconditioned rest area after a short walk while his dad and his dad's friends continued the rest of the tour. lance was able to see some animals rin naman, pero deadma lang siya. he wasn't aware or scared even. tamang titig lang siya.

the zoo was big but it doesn't contain as much variety of animals compared to the zoo in the phillipines. there were only different types of goats, cats, birds and snakes. some other animals like monkeys, giraffes, rhinoceros were also present and most of these animals were from africa. kawawala nga sila. so gloomy and lumpy due to the warm weather. sabi siguro nila, summer na...our good times are over...!!! hehehe.

after our short trip at the zoo, we had a happy lunch in Al Ain Mall. tamang pahinga and chance for changing lance's nappies na rin.

after lunch, we headed back to our beloved emirate. hehe. but before we reach the city, we had a short stop-over in the Grand Mosque. it is actually the second biggest mosque in the world! hindi pa nga tapos sa sobrang laki eh. hehe. lance had fun crawling about. sobrang lawak talaga ng mosque na ito. para talagang sa Milan sa St. Peter's Square. hehe. as if, napuntahan ko na eh noh. basta, malawak siya. to my dismay, it was a friday kaya hindi kami nakapasok sa mismong prayer room. anyhow, we will definitely come back!
