Some of you may recall that our first attempt at camping in the UAE was a bit of a disaster (more details here). Well a couple of weeks ago we decided to have another go, but this time we thought it would be nice to head into the desert.
Al Ain
ABU DHABI DIARY (6)
This week started with a trip to Amsterdam for a work conference. As always with this type of thing there wasn’t too much time for sightseeing, although I did manage to spend an hour or so wandering around the Christmas markets on Sunday when I arrived. And on the Monday evening we were treated to a boat trip by our Dutch hosts, which took in a number of the impressive displays forming part of the Amsterdam light festival. There was a bit of a panic on the boat when the beer pump was found to be not working, but after some frantic tinkering by the crew there was a huge sign of relief as the drink began to flow.
AL AIN ZOO
I took a couple of days off last week so yesterday we decided to visit Al Ain Zoo. We had annual passes to Blackpool Zoo for a couple of years, which we enjoyed using, so Al Ain Zoo had a lot to live up to.
