Saturday 18 April

After our sleep we meet Vicki (lives in Dubai - sister of a friend). She has a list of places of interest to show us. First quick stop is the photo opportunity with Burj Al Arab in the background (the 7 star hotel which looks like a sail). First major stop is the Jumeirah Mall (Souk) beside the Burj Al Arab. I twist my achilles and am in agony. If you don't know about my achilles I stupidly damaged it a couple of months before leaving and for a month before we left I had physio. It is constantly painful but ok. Nursing it through. Vicki buys stronger anti-inflamitories (you can get anything in Dubai). I stopped the tour and it's back to our hotel.

Late afternoon we go to Deira City Centre Mall which is testament to consumerism. I found it all tedious as there are masses of shops that are the same as in NZ. But I did buy deoderant in Carrefour! Had a light meal.

Packed, slept, set alarm for 12.45am! As Tina said, all she wants is one normal night's sleep!!!
