After Boxpark we made our way back to Nuran. The
excitement of being in the Middle East for the first time still lingering, but
the reality of our body clocks still unaccustomed to the time difference soon
became apparent.
Cat and I were soon overcome with fatigue
and lethargy from the seven and a half hour flight and was soon in bed, snoring
since it was past our bedtime. Although it was only 8:00pm here in the UAE and
being four hours behind our bodies still told us it was midnight in Malaysia and
that we ought to be asleep.
Brendan ever the young and energetic bunny
that he is joined Ginny and Sern on a walkabout along the Dubai Marina Walkway to
take in the sights and sounds. It’s a seven kilometre palm-lined waterfront
walkway dotted with global cafes, food outlets and restaurants that comes alive
at night.

Google describes Dubai Marina as an
“affluent residential neighborhood known
for The Beach at JBR, a leisure complex with al fresco dining and sandy
stretches to relax on. Smart cafes and pop-up craft markets line waterside
promenade Dubai Marina Walk, while Dubai Marina Mall is packed with chain and
luxury fashion brands. Upscale yachts cruise through the large man-made marina,
where activities range from jet-skiing to skydiving.”
Goodnight Dubai, we will sleep tight dreaming of more adventures to be had tomorrow.
