For a trip that so far, was been short on adventure, but long on luxury, we decided to relax today, enjoy the Burj and just take it easy for our first day.
After a quick tour by golf cart around the beach and Wild Wadi(the Water Park), the reknowned Brunch in our hotel's glass restaurant on the 27th floor offered a variety of food. Lobster, sushi, shrimp, scallops, 6 types of caviar, chocolate soup, pan-seared fois gras with pumpkin and raspberry sauce, custom wok and pasta stations, dim sum, oyster bar, among hundreds of choices for a mere $120.00 a person.
We arrived back in our suite just in time for our butler to present us with not one, but two large cherry torte pies. Because he failed to include a feather we deferred this gastronomical delight until later in the evening. We waddled down to the beach for a dip in the refreshing 90+ degree Persian Gulf waters (Arabian Sea).
Then after a failed attempt at Wild Wadi Water Park because the park was jammed(Friday is Holy Day and time is spent with family), Garry, Rich and I headed back to swim in Burj's pool and the swim up bar a final nightcap.
Old Dubai beckons tomorrow afternoon.
Signing off, Garry, Rich and Tamara

Garry,
Just seeing if I can make contact. You have me drooling already and you have barely started. And here am I in the sweltering humidity spending 6 hours a day trying to get some of your colleagues out of office:>
At least you'll make it back for Valerie Hoxter's pool party:>
Hope all goes smoothly,
Have a wonderful time,
Peter
