Hello from the UAE…part 2

Hellllo.

Day 2

Day 2 so a trend that i still cant shake off, the time difference. I keep waking up around 11am everyday. Too hard to get used to time difference. Its only 3 hours but to get up at my normal time would mean waking up around 4am GMT.  Not something i want to get into the trend of.

We got up, checked out the Villa in the light. Went to supermarket to stock up on food and drinks. We then popped down to The Mail of Emirates. Had some lunch and a few drinks then came back to the Villa for a chill in the pool.

That night we went out to Al Qasr Madinat Jumeirah for a deal, drinks and shisha. Food was out of this world but came with a not so pretty price tag. But fuck it, I’m on holiday…right?

Day 3

Nothing interesting to report really. A day sunbathing and relaxing. Mid afternoon me and my friend slipped to the supermarket to get some meat for the BBQ but we ended up at the golf course. Cider on tap. HEAVEN. Several pints later we decided to return to the villa. PISSED.

BBQ and  chilling in the jacuzzi through the night.

Day 4

Wild Wadi time. The water park joining onto the Jumeirah Beach hotel. Fucking wicked time there. Then we headed over to the Marina for Lunch. Chinese my favourite.

That evening we got a Pizza Hut delved then headed out to the Uptown Bar. Basically a bar on the 24th floor of the Jumeirah beach hotel. A view of the whole city. Amazing. Then we went back down to ground level and across to 360. A bar in the middle of the sea facing the Burj Arab hotel. Few drinks and more shisha. Good night.

Day 5

Jeep Safari time, not before a few hours baking in the sun. Awesome time, took plenty of pictures and videos which i will host when i return to the UK.

Day 6

We chilled most of the day then went for a round of golf. Not good in the stupid temperatures in the Gulf. After we had a well deserved drink in the golf club. Before passing out in the Villa with a DVD.

Day 7

Time to brush off the sand and make way for some snow! I went for a few hours snowboarding at Ski Dubai in Mail of Emirates. Then head out to the Irish Village to watch the England match. Returning home with a DVD and Burger King. Not to mention Mountain Dew. LUSH.

Day 8

Not much happened. Our pool needed cleaning for the second time in the visit so we headed down to the communal pool. Lovely and empty, nice. Later we went down to the golf club for some drinks and a meal. Home for another DVD and late night.

Day 9

That’s today nothing to report yet.

Hello from the UAE

Day 7 in the UAE, done a boat load of stuff so here’s a break down..

Day 1

First time on a long haul flight.  The extra leg room and the on-board entertainment got me pretty hyped. The first two hours after eating my chicken curry, drinking my ice cold Fosters while watching ‘Yes Man’ i was loving it. I didn’t want the flight to end. This soon changed after the 5th hour of getting restless. The service on Emirates was second to none.

When we arrived the first thing that hit me was the heat. Bare in mind it was 1am.  It was pretty much unbearable.  I also was slightly worried about customs. You hear stories about people going to jail for having tiny tiny amounts of drugs on them. Something that can be collected in your shoe. I was fine and the strict stuff you hear about passport control was a load of shit. Easy.

We collected the rental car and drove to the Villa. Checked it out, had some food then called it a night.

Day 1 over.

Broken…..iPhone

The last 2 days in the UK have been amazing with warmer temperatures then Spain. I broke up for my holiday on Thursday and yesterday with awesome weather me and my friends spent all day in the beer garden. After 12 hours of drinking i called it a night by dropping my iPhone on the ground, face down. No damage. Result. Well that was until i went to make a call and nobody could hear me. Looked like i had broke the soundboard. This was later confirmed by the guys at the apple store.

Not been totally honest with apple they replaced my iPhone for a brand new one after a few failed attempts at fixing it.

So i now have a brand new white iPhone again.

Everything happens for a reason ;)
