Sunny Hot Dubai

Dubai ... great flight, loving Singapore airlines, great service and easy travelling, and they took all my luggage even hand luggage just had my handbag -fan damn tastic.

But now unhealthy, flu flu flu, nice egyptian Dr gave me half a dozen boxes of pills and drops to fix me up. not happening yet.

Miss the green, and freshness of home, but hey its nice and hot here. Lucky, not too bad, only sitting at 39/40, much better than expected 50s. SO a day to relax and chill out, lazed around the house, wow couldnt believe the sand inside, everything was caked. had to organise the cleaner in a hurry, cant come for two days, so had to give a quick go over. Oh well. Headed down to the Burj Al Arab Beach no one about, so a quite swim at 7.40am. crystal clear, and fresh not too hot at all.

Al Ain

Next day off to Al Ain where the late Sheikh was raised, has a 3,000 year old under ground irragation system and green oasis in the middle of the desert.





drive up the Jebel Hafeet mountains for lunch and a swim at the mountain top hotel . Little warmer than Buller. wow but much steeper, and sand sand. Darren reckons this is like a lizard - what do you think ???

Yep Nath having his usual bowl of chips, Me very car sick, too many steep windy roads, what a place high in the mountain overlooking the desert, but lush and sweet.








Is that Darren on the slide ?? What a splash.


The boys got a game of chess in before we left, Nath wasnt impress when i helped him out and Josh got checkmate.
