Unfortunately,
the alarm woke us up at 9 am (yes, it’s self-inflicted!). You sometimes forget
how good sleep is! We were on the go by 11 am to meet our friend Sandy (she’s
my VP and also lives in our building in Kuwait). We had planned on taking a
“hop on, hop off” bus ride to visit the city of Dubai but ended up taking a
driver instead. We toured the city, all three of us, in a Lexus, with AC,
stopping wherever we wanted, and for as long as we wanted. It was great (and
cheaper than the bus tour!). The driver even suggested a place for lunch (he
was hungry! – well, it was1h30 and we had been with him for a while) so we ate at a local restaurant which was very good and not expensive at all (68
dirhams for the four of us; equals about 20 $ CAD). We drove around all day and
visited a lot of places that the regular tourists on the bus tour wouldn’t go
to. We got back after 5h30 pm. We then invited Sandy to our room for a final
drink (she’s leaving today, back to Kuwait; no more booze). That will be our situation tomorrow.
