Hit ROCKBOTTOM

Well here we all are in Dubai. It certainly has changed a great deal when Weli and I were here almost 2 years ago. The skyline is beautiful with the Burg Dubai at 800m dwarfing all the other super structures. Habib lives on the palm island. The palm island had me owe struck, how can man move so much dirt/earth and make a man made island of this size. All the houses follow various architects across the world such as spansish villas still looking for a portuguese style quinta. Went for shisha and wraps last night everyone a bit razzeled from the 7 gins and tonic on the flight.

Went out for a few quiet drinks last night!! ended up being a full night on zi razzel until 6am. Started off at 360 a bar in the middle of the sea stuck bang in the middle of the Burg Al Arab and the other fancy hotel. A bottle of vodka later we found ourselves going to Rockbottom which is the Rocket equivilent of Dubai. Full of english people!!!!

Today Habib's mum cooked the most unbelievable feast of lamb and lots of other fine dishes we ate like kings, even better than the last feast two years ago (never thought that was possible). We are chilling at Habib's house soacking in the luxuries that I am sure we will lose for some time in S. E. Asia.
