More vast open plains!
It is surprsingly cooling and desert friendly!
The Emirates palace hotel that is!
The place is nicely lit in the night
It's a tranquil sea of white here
Time to hit the dunes back!
The old market and cloth/textile souk
Digging these off road rovers parked alongside...
they have rather interesting shops in town too
fore!
Anyone feeling blue?
And we are lovin' it
lake on the right
we could almost see scotland from here!
to our next dock stop!
Time for dinner at a local seafood restaurant
not to mention cafes too.
Arghh! Why doors so small!
We get unlimited visits to the buffet too! *grins*
argh we could use higher ceilings!
And I got the best seat on the house!
Jeff has one too!
But first, lets checkout the giftshops!
grazers, they are everywhere!
Including the Shaun-fied versions!
Back down from the mountains
And falconers
docking at one of the mid stops
And the matching left!
Here we are at Coniston!![The "old man" in the distance](../../../../_data/i/upload/2010/08/18/20100818093737-422745fa-me.jpg "The "old man" in the distance (2721 visits)")
The "old man" in the distance
close up of the mountains in the vicinity
Apple-tard
That's all for today folks!
River taxis berthed by the Temple creekside
The upper floors of course!
awww doggie like stratches!
Ooo narrow staircase to where?
Talking about a red carpet entrance!
Complete with old buildings and a creekside walk
plotting our next evil step in world domination
we were treated to traditional Belly dancing
Lawl, random jeep loaded on random Dhow
Bye Coniston!
It's a small little condusive town, with an excellent visitor's center
Oh look more lifestock!
Checking out the BBQ for the night
including all it's loose bits
Views getting better which each climb
The woods transitions to a gravel path from here
