Madinat Resort

Hi campers.

Last weekend I hooked up with Mike McCready, a family-friend of a lawyer I worked with at Optus on secondment (Terence Bonner) and Mike's mate, Simon. Mike is a lawyer at EITC, Dubai's second carrier.

As you can see, we went for a beer (actually a long island tea) at the Madinat resort, which is next to the Burj Al Arab - the fancy schmancy hotel everyone hears about. It is fancy schmancy.

After, we met up with Simon, had a bite to eat and went to a Shisha cafe. Shisha is the stuff Arabs smoke in those amazing water pipes. I don't smoke, but thought I should try.

When we arrived at the cafe there were no seats, so Mike secured a table with 3 Moroccan ladies - Ebtissam, Monia and Maryam. We shished with them for a few hours until their friend turned up and another table became vacant.
