Wednesday Arvo

(Two posts in one day?  Gee what's going on?)

I got my hair cut today at The Souk at The Shangri-la.  How posh.  I am going back to my 'new' hairdresser when the time comes.  He did a fabulous job and I am happy.  Don't think it will be looking like this tomorrow though... (Thank you for the photo shot Miss Monet!)

Lyndon had this afternoon off due to him working this evening, so after he and Monet picked me up from the hairdressers, we ventured into Abu Dhabi to visit the InterContinental Hotel.  

We had 'heard' there was a proper fish and chippery around those parts, but alas we didn't quite find it.  Instead we explored the marvellous hotel's environment.  It was rather beautiful with it's own marina.  And I am a sucker for a lovely marina.

Did you notice the 'typical UAE skyline?' in that above photo?  And just how green is that water?  That green is my favourite colour by far!

We sat down by the private beach and had a cool drink...

...and a bite to eat at the Beach Bar.  Some kind of Fish'n'Chips it had to be from the Bar Menu.

I felt we could have stayed there all day.

I could think of worse ways to spend a couple of spare hours in our new city.
