Had a bit of a disaster with my laptop. Splashed some 18 year old Glenmorangie over the keys and now it doesn't work. The keyboard has turned into a random event generator and I cannot type on it at all. Just had to pay to use a PC in the business centre to check-in on line.We are off to Sydney in the morning. It means we can now have breakfast before departing.
We have packed in a lot while we have been here. Did the full city tour yesterday and last night sailed the creek on an illuminated Dhow after watching fireworks and had a lovely meal. First day we explored old Dubai and all the trading "corridors". Went to the museum and the spice and gold souk across the creek. Today we are going back to the huge shopping Mall as it is so mind-boggling in "Downtown" so we want to see it again. Later this afternoon and evening we are going on the desert drive. Four by four over the sand dunes, watch the sun go down in the desert, have a meal and be entertained by a belly dancer. Nice!
We drove all round the Palm Jumeirah and had our photo taken outside the Atlantis. It must cost a fortune to stay there. If there is a recession in Dubai it isn't immediately obvious. I suppose you can see some of the building work has stopped but by no means not all of it. The place is very busy. Lovin' it!
Pity about my laptop, though. Might try and get it fixed in Sydney.
Gutted for you about the laptop. Could you buy a mini USB keyboard as a temporary measure? Sounds like you're really enjoying it out there. Lovin Reading about it too. Keep us posted and keep having a great time.
ReplyDeleteAha! It all becomes clear. All this "I went to bed and the next morning my keyboard wasn't working properly". But then we hear the truth "I splashed 18yr old whisky on my keyboard". Tut tut!! Anyway hope you get it sorted. Enjoy the Belly Dancing. Sounds like fun.
ReplyDeleteYour keyboard was drunk! Perhaps it will have sobered up by the time you get to Sydney!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a great time. Thinking of you lots.
