Today was one of those quintessential Dubai days where the sun is out, but it is not too hot or humid, where we are staying at a nice hotel with beach access and there are enough sun loungers for everyone, where the music playing from the beach front cafe is soft jazz at a soft volume, and while the the jet-skis and motorboats are definitely present, they are sufficiently distant to be but a distant buzz.
I spent most of the day on a sun lounger, catching up with the Times editions that I had neglected during the week and also on the book which I am thoroughly enjoying but have been reading it seems forever - Felicity Cloake’s US road trip.
Sadly, I failed to make much of an impression on the remaining pages as a result of falling asleep after an afternoon tea comprising chicken dumplings, vegetable samosas and my own body weight in watermelon juice at the Club Lounge.
Nevertheless, I have to say that the day was not wasted as I felt very relaxed as A and I met up in the Lounge for sundowners before heading to the Steak restaurant for an excellent Wagyu Tartare and lamb cutlets before having cocktails at Laguna on the beach (after our 30 minutes of walking around the perimeter of the Hotel) and then to bed.
