An easy day and a good night out

The usual sort of early to late buffet breakfast before heading out to the beach. It can be really hard work some times just sitting in the shade on a conformable chair under the shade of the sun umbrellas and palm trees. The cooling wind helps it seem a comfortable temperature and today it was about 36 degrees C and the swimming pool around 29 degrees C.

There are still quite a few people around the Hotel and you can hear groups of them discussing their challenges by not going home on time from running out of razor blades to not enough Blood pressure pills and that they actually had to wash some undies in the sink. These people should be stuck somewhere in Africa or India and then you would really have something to complain about.

A snack lunch in the beach side bar was endured by us and then an exhausting afternoon lying in the garden. At around 8pm an old business colleague of mine who used to work in New York has now arrived to work in Dubai two months ago and so he arrived at the Hotel and we headed downtown to the Italian Restaurant at the Westin Hotel on the beach. We had a great meal sitting outside on the terrace in a lovely climate and eventually returned to the Jebel Ali resort at around 1230, A very nice day and an even better night out..
