Ferrari World

Half term this week, so took the kids over to Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi today. It boasts the world's fastest roller coaster. At 0 to 240kph in 4.9s it is eye poppingly quick but thankfully your wallet, keys and phone don't fall out of your pockets as you hurtle around. Little Max was very upset he wasn't tall enough to go on it, but made up for it by dragging me onto the log flume three times and getting me soaked.

This is Ben and his friend Eliot putting the father and daughter combination of me and Lucy to shame in the F1 tyre changing. Our time of 46s was slightly off the pace - entirely her fault as she couldn't get the hang of the pneumatic drill as I stood poised with the wheel.
