Yesterday afternoon, my how time flies, we walked from the hotel to a shopping center (the Burjuman) about ten minutes away. It is by no means the fanciest shopping center in Dubai. I know this because we chatted to an American... and yesterday evening we took a 2 hour evening cruise (which included a buffet dinner) down the Dubai Creek.
... it was stupendously beautiful. The food, the views,the sights... wow!
And then this morning (12th January) we went on a Big Bus tour of Dubai. This included an hour long walking tour of the old city and the variuous souks. The walking tour not only took us through various areas of the old city and the souks, but also a delightful ride on the traditional mode of transport across the Creek - the abra. It also included admission to the Dubai museum and of course a tour of the entire city with commentaries. Because one could jump off and on a different points we also explored a little - and went and looked at the indoor ski area in the Mall of the Emirates shopping center.How weird. It was snowing inside and the temperature is kept at -2 degrees centigrade.
This took the entire day.
Sandra is busy packing our bags for tomorrow morning's flight to Dusseldorf, I had better get back there as I was sent to fetch her jersey she had forgotten at the buffet supper and was meant to return immediately.
Its all good...
