With the weather now very pleasant, especially comparing it to a month ago, even a fortnight ago, I thought it would be most appropriate to take the VIPs down to the Corniche for a stroll, even a short one, along the beach and boardwalk.
At 10am it was lovely. The whole place seemed rather inviting and the water was perfect temperature.
Hey! Nice skirt lady! (*smirk*)
The above shot shows to the far left the 'Etihad Towers' - a series of five towers, representing the Sheikhs. Where you can just see cranes, is the Emirates Palace, the most expensive hotel in the world. Where you can a series of white 'Sails' and a little tower, is Marina Mall and further along is the 'World's largest Flag pole' where the UAE flag flies proudly at full mast each day.
We had a cool milk shake at one of the cafes on the boardwalk which over looks the beach. A cool refreshment was needed as I'm pretty sure it was a little warmer than the predicted 33 degrees.
With this week being Eid Mubarak and mid-term break for school, I think I might just take the girls back down there for a splash in the water, whilst the VIPs head UK bound.
