Dubai day 3

Ran down to the beach as sand was a little hot...the sea was so warm it was kinda too warm.

Walked 5 min to a bus stop all hot and sweaty...to enter an enclosed air-conditioned pod...so nice!

Went to pay on bus with credit card but couldn't...luckily driver was kind and let us stay on.

Monorail was just a thing to do. The middle stop at mall was just a food stop as the end stop was a posh hotel.

Inside hotel was an aquarium that had great views rather than paying to see.

Got conned to have a timeshare tour which was actually interesting and killed 3.5 hours of the day... perfect as then got dropped off where we wanted to go for dinner down at the marina area...saved walking around more shops 😀

Hard to comprehend that 20 years ago it was just desert...they build buildings so fast. The new tallest hotel in Dubai has taken 3.5 years and has 84 Floors....the models were impressive and more development happening with a bigger palms 2 on right of map.

The salesman Ali was really nice and we just said no as they pressured us to decide while there.... they are good at their jobs...I nearly fell asleep during the presentation while he was talking directly to me... embarrassing but I just said I've heard this all before...just give me the price.

Not as many boats in marina but pretty to walk around...just annoying sales approach from all the restaurants.

Packing tonight for early start to airport tomorrow... getting taxi at 6.20am.Okumaya devam et
