Day 2 in Dub

Went up to see the rooftop pool. Very nice. If only I had more time here 😪

Breakfast this morning: pancakes, hash browns, ful madames(?), cheese stuffed tomatoes. Fruit and yog for dessert 👌🏼

Tried to ask at reception how to get to the mosque and they said there was no public transport. After about an hour I found my own route via three buses. Tried to buy a ticket on the bus but he didn’t understand me and told me to sit down. Free ride it is then.

Got off at the Burj al Arab- worlds most luxurious hotel. Had it’s own private beach that was over £200 to access. Walked further along to Jumeirah public beach. Sea was SO warm and clear and amazing but didn’t have my swim stuff so just a lil paddle for me 🙁

Walked half an hour until I found the next bus stop. Sweating. Even the bus shelters have AC.

Made it all the way to the mosque for free, lols 😏

Nice mosque but a long way to go just for a pic. Got another free bus back a bit and found my way to City Walk. A lovely outdoor retail complex. Got some pasta and Caesar salad for luncheon.

Bus to Internet City to try and get to Palm Jumeirah. Walk for 50 minutes and arrive at a monorail where the guy says you can monorail across but there’s not really much to see. Abort mission. Pay for tram to the marina to get back to mall of the emirates.

Another long walk back to the hotel. Quick dip in the rooftop pool 😌 down to reception for 7:30pm where the receptionist guy said he’d give me a lift to see the fountains. Do I trust? My feet tell me yes.

Went to see the Dubai Fountains. So cool. Water dancing about to Thriller. Had my first Tim Hortons in years, just as good as I remember. Canadian maple doughnut and vanilla ice cap 😋 Then went to Dubai canal, also v cool. Stopped to say hello to his friends before he dropped me back. Safe and sound.

11/10 would Dubai again. Do I have to leave in the morning ☹️
