After breakfast we met the tour person form Arabian Adventures to confirm our Dinner Safari tomorrow for Noel and I and tried to book the Burj Khalifq but she couldn't do it as they had lost their connection so in the end I did it myself on my phone. This stopover is jinxed I think. You need to book as it is so busy here in Dubai due to the holiday. This is the main reason we didn't get our rooms when we should as the greedy Sheraton over booked to cash in. Met some other people this morning who also pre booked and paid in May and they did not get a room at all and we're sent to the Radisson for the night. I think we were lucky to get our rooms by the sounds of it.
After a quick trip to the supermarket we met and headed for Atlantis. We got a taxi to the Cresent then caught the monorail along the palm to check out the fronds with all the fancy homes on them. All the homes are exactly the same. No neighbourhood competition I guess. Donna and Mark stayed to go to the aquarium which they enjoyed while Noel and I headed back for a Mexican lunch at the mall. We are so over donor kebabs.
We hit the pools in the afternoon on the roof top 24th floor which was very pleasant and again the views are incredible. We went to the Sheraton Club for happy hour which includes drinks and snacks that were quite sufficient for dinner with satays, Samos, mushroom balls, cheese and biscuits etc with a few red wines I finally hit the wall after only four hours sleep.
Might try Ski Dubai tomorrow morning but till then J&N
