From one extreme to another

---

Thursday was a day of contrasts we started in one of the wettest places in Dubia nad ended the day in the driest.

The moring saw us in the Wild Wadi Water Park. Themed around Sinbad and Juha a mythical traveller. Both travelling across the seas and engulfed by a storm, survived and stranded in a beatiful lagoon. It is the most advanced technological water park in the world and has the tallest free fall slide outside of America. the Jumeriah Screamer and did I scream as I plunged 27 M hitting a top speed of 80K. I got to the bottom and couldn't move partially due to the fact that the seat of my costume had been forced between my buttocks and there was a great queue of people standing watching me lying there. After retrieving my costume I managed to make a rather undignified exit.

Late afternoon we went on a trip to the desert. We wnet into a natonal park 225 square km owned by the Emirates Airways. Via 4 wheel drives we went dune bashing, visted a camel farm had a camel ride and then off to a banquet in the middle of the desert. I was expecting something akin to Arabian Nights, sumptious tented tent, insted we sat on cushions at low tables under the starts with the moon light. Food was good and plenty to drink would have enjoyed it more if the driver hadn't told us we were coming back the way we went. I hardly drank anything for fear of upchucking. We came back along a service road.

Completed nigt in Bahri Bar drinkign cocktails and looking a Burj Al Arab illuminated.
