It 11.00 am and we are about to enter Dubai and I a waiting for my tour today which is ‘Modern Dubai and High Tea at the Burj’ – high tea on in the 2nd tallest building in Dubai!
I had a great day in Bahrain yesterday and we now have 2 days in Dubai since we are ate the end of Sector where we are told 500 guests are leaving and 520 boarding so the ship will be packed full for the last leg back to Southampton on 31st March.
Sandra, the Tours Manager has just phoned me to say that for my balloon trip tomorrow I am to meet her and another lady with whom I shared my Galapagos trip last year at 4.15 am!!! Whilst in the Gym last night I had seen on the TV that there had been fatalities in a balloon crash at Luxor but Sandra bless her has phoned head office and the port agent in Dubai and has been told that it was a different type of balloon so reassured whilst you are all asleep I shall be drifting across the sand dunes!! Hopefully we will get to see the ‘Palm Tree Islands’ and ‘the map of the world’ that have been created out of the sea as we ascend.
So I’m afraid you will have to wait a little longer for full pictures of the Taj and whilst I decide how much I should tell you of tis history and construction.
