Last few days in Dubai

Ok a lot has happened since the last update due to speradic internet access and desert camping.  Some heavy nights have been had and very much enjoyed.  A night at the nightclub in the Atlantic hotel must go down as a memorable event if not for the three bottles of Finlandia and the top class sheesha using a pinaple fruit as the head.  The nightclub was called Sanctuary, it was a trendy place but we all prefered to be on the terrace a bit like trilogy for those who came on the first Dubai trip.  We all proceeded to go back to Habib’s house for after hour drinks on the beach.  This involved some midnight dipping in the pool and beach (Nondas was supporting Panithinaikos underwear) I have been told by Habib that this footage has been captured by his CCTV.  In terms of waking up early its been a complete shambles but then again Dubai is a 40 year old city and we have agreed that site seeing is pretty limited in a place which is purely materialistic.  This was Thursday last week. 

Ok Friday, hmmmm what did we do.......... We woke up and decided to go camping in Oman.  The planning began.  Habib, Nondas and me went about getting food and camping equipment for 10 guys with Habib’s friends attending to the Sheesha and alcohol.  Four jeeps set out to the boarders near Fujierah.  Dissapointingly we got to the boarder where they had decided to carry out boarder patrol.  Well not everyone had passport in addition to a militant guard we were requested to turn back (finger strocking the trigger of the M16 MUGGGGG).  We decided to just drive into the nearby desert and set up camp.  Inflation of the tyres began and we drove in.  We found a nice place just above a sand dune, parked and set up camp.  Amazingly we were very well organised and the feat was accomplished in less than an hour.  Drinks, chilly chill and more drinks followed by barbq and sheesha got everyone nicely merry.  We (thats is Weli, Nondas and Mark) decided to go down the cheap route and get half open tents, ended up being a good option except for the spooning that followed.  Woke up to a blazing heat which managed to get habib up nice early from his one man individual tent.  Off we went Back to Dubai!!!!!!

Saturday was a chilled day to be honest I think i have confused the dates and so cant realy remember.  Hmmm Sunday what happened Sunday.  Sunday was a trip to emirites mall with sheesha and cinema.  We have finally arrived to today Monday the 12th Jan.  Today we decided to go cayaking around the palm we didnt make it past a leaf, due to reduced lung capacity and some capsizing we decided to turn back and proceed with our cardiac arrests.  We ate at the most famous canteen in Dubai (place for wraps and sandwiches) tooooo maccchhhhhhhhh.  Words cannot describe as well as the prices (50p a wrap).

Well our last days approach and I promise Mark and Weli will be adding to this blog!!!!!! We arrive in Mumbai on the 16th at 4.00 am.
