Goodbye to Dubai

We sadly left Dubai yesterday and need to again thank Nadine and Richard for such a good time. We were greeted in Kuala Lumpur by rain and that funny city smell we had forgot about in the desert. We're here for today, then fly out again tomorrow, likely to sit on a beach for a while.

Kacey and I ended up going back to Wild Wadi Waterpark before we left and had more fun than the first time. You see, seems everyone thought there was some sort of war going on, so they forgot to visit Dubai and, as such, missed out on the waterpark. The reason Kace and I had so much fun was because, as before, we didn't need stairs, but the weather was better and the only wait we had was getting ourselves into the tubes. That's it. Fun indeed.

We'll miss Zoe the Wunderkat at Nadine's apartment, the fuzziest cat ever with the sandiest voice to go with it. We didn't figure out if it was the desert sand or her constant meowing that made her sound like Louis Armstong, but she was always there to greet us with her scratchy voice.

We'll also miss the great business names, too: The Golden Fork Restaurant, The Eat and Drink Restaurant, Happy Burger, Lime and Spice, Golden Burger, and my favourite... Travel and Walk Car Rental.

We'll also miss the sand, the cars (along with the traffic) and the people.

Everyone needs to go to Dubai.
