Friday 1st Dec!!!!!

wow how time is flying! Our guest was left to his own devices for another week....unfortunately the weather had well and truely changed......on and off rain!!!! little sun......

The morning was spent helping Steve to pack his stuff and drive him to the airport to see him fly off to good ole blightly! :-( surprisingly an easy journey that only took 20mins to return to the apartment. CJD took the opportunity to visit Mall of the Emirates or MOE to us locals! hahaha

When Steve was present he found out that the Dubai X Games were on at Creek Park (skateboarding, BMX, MotoX, in line skating etc) so we decided to occupy our minds down there in the afternoon. We decided to WALK!!!! from Al Mina Road to Creek Park.......Steve said it wasnt that far!!!!! DONT YOU BELIEVE IT! took a good few hours and it was miles! It is definately the best way to see the sights of Dubai! got a few nice pics of famous landmark buildings!!! It was well worth the pilgrimage, the skating was excellent.....some famous BMX guy Matt Hoffman was doing stunts and we were actually really impressed!!! was very windy and on off spitting but we were really glad we went!

Saturday...........WHAT A WASHOUT! another activity Steve had lined up for us was the world Powerboat championship final......really wanted to go but it was SOOOOooooo wet we decided to stay and clean the balcony of the flat......a guy in the office went and although it was really wet he said it was ACE.......wish we went now...nevermind! at least the balcony is clean!!!

Must point out, that although we mainly update the weekend activities, we try to go out on a tuesday night to explore a new mall each week.....not to mention thursday where we explore hotels....well....the bars associated with them....
