First things first - laying in the sun for couple of hours in the morning. Finding the house pool half way filled with water was the best surprise yet :) No need to walk all the way to the beach now.
Jaana booked me a safari for the afternoon. I don't know what she told the guy on the phone, but I got special treatment from a handsome tour guide throughout the trip :) Locals seem to have all gone to some charmers courses or something :) But the safari - it was all good. After pick-up we were taken out of town, it was about 45 minute drive towards Oman, to the gathering point.
From gathering point convoys of 4 wheel drive cars were formed. Our tour guide explained the drill that convoys are formed so that if something happens to some car the others can help out. Well, there were no other cars in sight anywhere :) He just smiled and assured that our convoy is somewhere around here, we found it after a bit, turned out that our tour guide is the coordinator and he needs to review all the activities during this tour. Going up and down the sand dunes was neat, made me wanna drive there myself :) Later on we were taken to a little village where lots of food was offered, couple of activities lined up (like riding a camel) and main attraction of the day - belly dancing show took place. We were taken back by 9 in the evening.
Rest of the evening went on the name of my last project - kill time till my flight at 4:50am :D This project looked like it will be a fun one :) Jaana and her friend were gladly planning the time and kept telling one location after another while I just nodded to questions "should we go to place X or Y?" :D
Number one on the list was a Southern African sports bar offering wonderful food, luckily it also had nice big TV's to follow an ongoing rugby game. South African team lost their home game :(
As all sources say, one of the many must visit location for looking at the city of Dubai is The Address Downtown Burj Dubai 63rd floor. Yesterday it was closed, but today it was quite open and packed with people. View was grand, apple martini as well :)
Another pub followed, this time a hidden Irish one. During those lonely 3 minutes we managed to stay in there we saw the band leaving, had a chat about why are they leaving (because everyone wanted to see the rugby game instead) and where can we follow them to (some hotel far away) and witnessed an uncomfortable situation that was so close to lead to a fight - out we went and headed over to a night club :) Me looooves dancing and dance we did, me a lot and the others a lot-lot. Quickly found another dancer with whom to take over the dance floor & let the rhythms take over :D
Party till 2, walk back to the apartment, quick shower, goodbyes, 14 minute taxi ride to the airport, endless lines of baggage scan/check-in/security/entry to the gate. Buuh, can't wait to get to the plane to take a loooong nap - it's been a tiring day.
