5th: old town, pjs outside, fresh juice, getting called shakira, 20p boat ride, mall of Dubai, burj khalifa (too expensive to go up!), fountains, home the longest possible way via monorail& train &metro and taxi 6th: messy day of brunch at the jumeriah Al man dinat, too much Prosecco, German regrets. 7th: lazing by the beach, loss of sunglasses, hangover +++

Aquaventure waterpark, free fall slide, torrents and lazy rivers, golf cart, swimming in the gulf or Arabia, golfcarts, sheesha-whiskey-wine combo, lazing on the terrace. Missing home and Larkin.

Lazy day buy the beach in Dubai at the waldof. 25 degrees, piña coladas, visit to the Emirates mall. Over eating at the Cheesecake Factory with takeout chocolate fudge cake!
