थे सुन इस शिन्गिंग अत जेबेल अली होटल

For some strange reason the Blogger internet based software that I use keeps changing my typing in to Arabic and so now I have to prepare it all in MS Word and then paste to the site. Oh well such is life.
The sun is shining and a following a good breakfast we headed to the beach where the staff are very busy setting up this big event and lo and behold on the signs is the Swiss Air Cargo and Swiss the Airline signs all over the place and so it could be a Swiss function I guess? There were also signs for UBS and Credit Suisse put up later in the morning and what with a proliferation of Swiss Flags and also all the tables being laid in the same colours we can now safely assume its a Swiss function. This will start a 1600 hours today and so we will sneak down later to what is going on.
After a nice morning spent relaxing under the palm trees we headed over to the beach bar and cafe for a quick bite and whilst sitting there the wind got much stronger to the point where they had to pull down all the sun umbrellas and also sand was beginning to get blown about quite a bit and so we thought ‘bugger this’ and headed back to the room for a well earned rest. Should be interesting to see how they cope with the strong winds at the Swiss Party later on. Mind you many Swiss people who live in the mountains must be used to it!.

We had dinner at the Sports Club and watched the Swiss whoop it up, actually they were quite sober which is their norm.
