After time spent together at the gym, sauna and pool this morning, AL and I ruined all our good work at dinner. Good company and good food - nothing beats it. We joined AL's workmates and another friend at an Indian restaurant in Karama. The evening wasn't without its glitches. We ordered the food, and then AL and workmate went to pick up the friend, while the 2 girls minded the table. Would have been great except that the food arrived almost immediately, but the boys spent about 40 minutes looking for a park. A not very impressed waiter agreed to reheat the food for us. Nice food and very strong chai! Yummy. People were queuing up at the door to get a table at this restaurant!
It was nice to walk around after dinner and just get a feel for Karama and the people, and the little shops and restaurants. Really miss being able to just walk around the block or down the street for some vicarious consumerism, or just to buy a bottle of milk.
After dinner, and after several wrong turns, we ended up at Um Suquiem beach, where I proceeded to take the long awaited night shots of the Burj Al Arab:
Not a masterpiece, but at least I have the Burj Al Arab in my collection now. No doubt many more shots will follow.
