I’m having a bit of a rest day today, (Monday June 29th) the past two days have been busy and the travel, whilst enjoyable, can be a little tiring.  Since I arrived on Saturday morning there has been something organised most of the time.

Early on Sunday I took a stroll in the heat of about 42C to the Emirates mall.  In this multi-level shopping complex (one of numerous retail outlets is Dubai) is the world’s biggest indoor ‘snow playground’ at minus 3C – in the middle of a desert!  Whilst I could look I could not play – Ramadan.  I eventually found a place to have my morning coffee though – more my style of play I guess.

One entrance to the Mall of the Emirates.

Empty food hall at 1030 hours.
