Kiting Jebel Ali Beach

Relaxing by the pool after work

Getting setted at the beach; Ryno and Bjarte

Frode and me.

And the kite goes in the air






Finally out or the water



Ryno's car pretty packed

Dinner The Marketplace

Andreas and me in the entrance of J.W. Mariott hotel Deira, ready for feasting at The Marketplace

This is how the table looks like after some after-dinner drinks


We met up with a norwegian friend from Roxar and his buddy from Lebanon

Andreas singning along with the street-band outside Irish Village. And yes Andras, you were the only one singing out in a loud voice..

Next day, on our way to Mercato to get some Hardee's fast food - on the way to the beach.

Hardee's give away some fantastic Batman collectors items!

Around UEA

I don't know if it was the television itself or something else that made Andreas take this photo!?

The new mosk in Abu Dhabi

Greetings from the Sheik and ruler og UAE

... and here is his home - allegedly the most expensive palace in the word. This building and property is just amazing!

Andreas and Benedicte visiting (again)

It has been a while since I updated the blog, here follows some pictures of what has been going on the last month besides working.

Barasti at Le Meridian Mina Seyahi, probably my favourite spot in Dubai.

Myself and Andreas

The Grand Habtor Hotel seen from Barasti

Andreas and Benedicte in front of one of the pools at Le Meridian Hotel


Benedicte enjoying a Mojito


So are we :)

After Barasti we went over to Double Decker, here Benedicte and me with the Burj Dubai in the background (460 meters for the moment - only about 400 meters to go)

A rather lousy strawbery daiquiri - but we are not complaining

The next day at the beach

Benedicte at the Wild Wadi Water park
