At the beach

Weather: Sunshine
Temperature: 40 deg
Humidity: 66%

Finally my first day off in Dubai. In the Arabic countries the Sunday is a work-day, and the Friday is a non-working day ? a bit hard to getting adjusted to. Anyhow, finally we got to do some tanning at the beach.

After having overcome a horrible hangover from the Thursday night ? I moved from The Ramada hotel to my apartment in the ?London Crown? building. I stashed my bags in the room and darted over to the neighbour building where Christopher lives. We got in the car and headed for the Burj-al-Arab hotel.

The rest of the day we stayed on the beach with Ryno (the South-African) and a air-condition seller from Lithuania?! The ocean is still so warm that it hardly cools you down at all. But the temperature is dropping and it is becoming more and more comfortable staying outside.

The sun is setting over the islands constituting The World on Jumaira beach.
