    Relaxing day today by the pool, well until 4:00pm when we are kicked out for a private party. It's not really a problem as we lose the sun about 3:30pm, whereas all the three other pools NOT belonging to our hotel are still basking in glorious sunshine for a good couple of hours later.
    After our last supper, we went for a little walk around the Dubai Marina; voted one of the 50 coolest places in the world by Time Out Magazine. The marina is a waterfront city, with its emerald-green waters framed by some of the tallest – not to mention some of the most architecturally impressive – residential towers in the world. Just next door is Jumeirah Beach Residence – a neighbourhood in its own right and the gateway from Dubai Marina to the beach where all day long, we see a flotilla of boats 🚢 sailing ⛵️ back and forth.
