First week.......

Great to be traveling on holidays instead of work. We have been making great use of the Dubai metro - really easy to use, cost effective and efficient. 
Super efficient Dubai metro


We have been lucky with the weather so far as well not too hot. Has been great staying with our friends - very hospitable.
Rashi B. - what a sweety!




Caught up with Mahul and Geet at their hotel the Grosvenor House Hotel and had tons of drinks and then went to the Buddah Bar for a ton more drinks. Had a foul hangover next day and promised self not to get a hangover in some else's house again!!!!! Was great to see Mahul and Geet and a fun night - didn't mention universities once! 

 We also visited the Dubai Museum - very cool - lots of dioramas which we (and a million other children like). 
The one in yellow is real!

Walked along the marina and ended the day at the Dubai Mall watching the fountain show - who haas impressive for the whole 2 minutes it lasts! Can't believe people queue for so long for so little pleasure. Went to beach area today - but it was way too hot and then onto Jumeirah Residence for lunch - Tiffin place has doses yum!

  1. Thanks for the mention and the photos. Now that your trip is over, I will think of myself as one little pearl on the grand necklace that was this journey of yours. So happy to have been a part of it!
