Day two

We arrived in Abu Dhabi a little tired and rough looking. After check in and a little breakfast we ventured to the roof top to do a little swimming and relaxing in the pool and hot tub. We watched the planes take off and land. Looking out over the vast flat sand landscape. Not knowing how far you are seeing due to the heat haze. 

The landscape is beautiful in its own right. We are in a desert and they haven't tried to make it look like we aren't. Infact  their buildings all blend into the surrounding. All creams and terracottas. It's actually cool that they have been so simpathetic. I imagine also it helps with the extreme heat that they live with most of the year. 

We did venture out to the marina and had a look around. Not much is happening here at the moment during the day as it is the start of Ramadan. A religious time when they fast from sun up to sun down. I can respect their way of life and beliefs. I can also admit I don't truly understand this period but am happy to be respectful to the culture. 

The people here are uber friendly. Beautiful nature and happy to talk to you and smile and wave at the girls. And you know what the whole fasting during the day was not that hard. 

We did find ourselves needing an afternoon nap which was really needed. We ventured back out at 8pm and the place was Alive with people. The food here was just WOW! After a last dip in the hotel pool sleep found us again. Tomorrow brings another plane trip. 

We are London bound.
