We spent a relaxing morning finishing off the packing and loading up the car for our journey.
Our journey to Abu Dhabi first takes us all the way through the streets of Dubai. As we were on the old part of Dubai, this gave us a good opportunity to see some of the newer parts.
After that it has just sand and barren land as far as the eyes could see. It was extremely hot during this journey. We had ample cold drinks on board but also stopped on the way for some refreshment too.
Our route into Abu Dhabi took us past Yas Island (F1 circuit etc.) and convinced us that we should return and explore this some more.
The hotel we have booked for our three nights here is the 4* Southern Sun which sits just off the corniche coastal road. We have used one of our entertainer vouchers for this so have got a 4* for less than the price of a 3*. This was a major saving for us.
We have a room on the 17
th floor with a view that looks over Abu Dhabi and the room has all the features
you would expect from a 4* hotel. We are not used to this luxury.
There are a lot of major works going on in Abu Dhabi, so most of the maps available are of no use to us when trying to find the hotel, but thankfully it is a very tall building and has its name at the top. And at night has bright lights that appear to drip down the front of the building. That might help.
