Aquaventure! on the Palm Jumeirah

Our last day of school, but Daddy took a day off work to go to the Atlantis Hotel waterpark with Deo, Laura & baby Nicholas





Lots of big fish (and sharks too!) in the Atlantis Hotel aquarium







Deo, his beerbelly & son get creamed up under a palm tree





Hotel Atlantis (rose from the Gulf of Arabia apparently?!)





Nearly ready for the flumes






A quick stroll on the (bizarrely man-made and waveless) beach first





Only in Dubai can you ride up a flume



Daddy checks his insurance, then flies down a near vertical slope





The scariest ride - The Leap of Faith









Deo speeds down through shark-infested waters at the bottom of the slide





Daddy says a quick prayer then has another go








Nicholas has the right idea about what to do at waterparks







So relaxing, who needs flumes & sharks...
