Swiss Christmas Market, Abu Dhabi 2018
I can't believe it is Swiss Christmas Market time in Abu Dhabi already! I can't think where this year has gone. It seems to have passed by in a flash.
I accompanied a group of the Expat Ladies, Abu Dhabi, to the Beach Rotana hotel where we walked around the market and then had a Christmas High Tea together.
This lovely lady in the next door booth was selling her own handmade products.
I then came across Gunjan Shrivastrava selling her amazing art.
I just loved this couple selling camel milk soap.
These two turned out to be South Africans enjoying their time here in Abu Dhabi.
Apparently, camel milk is especially high in valuable Alpha-Hydroxy acids, which plump the skin and help to smooth fine lines. It is also effective at repairing damaged tissue. I just had to buy some. If you want to know more, visit the camelsoapfactory.com.
After having experienced the wonderful offerings of the Swiss Christmas Market, It was time for our high tea.
Here is the group of Expat Ladies, who I am delighted to call friends...
...and here is one of the tiered trays of Christmas goodies.
Although there were only eight of us, we had 4 of these, and, as there was so much on offer, some managed to take home a doggie bag. I hope I get to experience next year's Swiss Christmas Market. They are always such fun.
And no Swiss anything wouldn't be complete without Swiss chocolate.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
