Rose early, played tennis had breakfast and lounged by pool. Caught 6:15 [pm] Wafi bus – looked around Wafi shopping mall (yuk, but bought some CDs).
“Precisely which CDs did you buy?”, I hear many readers cry.
I’m glad you’ve asked me that question. These two albums, which Janie and I used a lot to help make up playlists for parties in the early 2000s. I have replicated the tracks from both into a YouTube playlist, which you can access through this link or the picture links below.


Took a taxi to “fake souk”, Souk Al Kararia, where we bought a designer shirt for £8, designer tie for £2 – subsequently discovered that it goes with my [Catalan] cardi! And three designer watches at £9 each. Then on to Golden Fork for dinner where the seafood was good and the service defied description. Taxi home.
The purpose of the “designer” shirt and “designer” tie was to enable me to comply with the dress code for dinner at the Burj Al Arab’s Al Muntaha Restaurant, which we had booked for a few days later.
You can see all the pictures from that final leg of our journey on the Flickr album linked here and below.
