The last of the Dubai photos, with a few aerial views thrown in. Soon, I'll do a write up.





Camels anyone?

It was amazing to me how open people were to getting their picture taken. Very different from Mayotte.

Sadly, the promised desert safari was the biggest letdown of the trip. I was sold on the voyage with the idea of going to meet real nomads, in a real setting. What I got was tourist trap with a "strip mall" that made me think of Clines Corners in New Mexico on the road to Albuquerque. In other words, not good. Live and learn and try not to get ripped off next time.

But I did get to see a camel spit out its throat, so I guess all was not lost...

I'm going to post photos first and then do a write up of the trip when I have a little more time.

 I got home from Dubai--more about the trip later--Thursday just before noon, exhausted, sore-footed, and happy to see my husband. Our bags were unloaded in record time, and we were soon outside in the muggy Mayotte air. Hello, humidity. 

However, instead of going straight home, we stopped by Sabrina and Lionel's house to drink an apéritif, have a little catch up chat, and organize the inauguration of the catamaran--more about that later. After that, lunch out, then back to the house for a shower, quick lie-down, and then off to the apéro on the boat.

Friday wasn't very restful either, but...more about that later.
