Aunty Tina and Great Aunty Les come to visit.

Oscar and Bailee warmed immediately to this amazing 92-year-old lady. They went straight into her arms for cuddles and were very happy just snuggling there. They also had an absolute blast laughing at her reading them a story and purposely telling it with the wrong animals in.

I picked the aunts up from Dubai Mall and brought them back to the Palm to see the children. Aunty TIna met the twins at their naming ceremony when they were 10 months old but hasn't seen them since. She was one of my favourite Aunties as a child. She is the most caring, selfless and warm person you would ever meet. She thought Bailee and Oscar were pretty neat and was quite taken with Maple too. She brought us sweets and chocolate from NZ. Cadburys Turkish Delight, A 'Party Mix', Freddo Frogs and Mr W's..... YUM! Oscar and Bailee are now obsessed with Freddo Frogs.... and here I was not going to give them chocolate until they turned 5!

Aunty Les is incredible. She is as bright as a button and so strong and active. We all had a great time together chatting and laughing and shared Lebanese for dinner.

Thanks for coming to visit us Aunty Tina and Aunty Les. We hope you have a wonderful cruise on The Serenade of the Seas. You sure deserve it!
