Dubai

Hot (35 degrees) and dusty - Dubai is not a very pleasant place to visit at this time of the year. Nevertheless, we were able to see a little of it, from air conditioned vehicles. The development is amazing. So much wealth! Yet there are many poor workers here from neighbouring countries.


At least were were able to rest well, before the last flight leg to London (Wednesday afternoon).

Dining on the Dubai Creek cruise.

D wearing an interesting hat - the world's only 7 star hotel.
An indoor ski field in the heat of Dubai.
There's a lot of wealth in Dubai.
Eating at a Lebanese restaurant. B is about to chomp into a whole capsicum.

Will post more soon - but in the meantime:

Who's the dummy?
