Dubai 1 jan. 2009

Första dagen på året sov jag tre timmar, konstaterade att jag fortfarande var mer än lovligt snurrig när jag vaknade och gick därför ner till poolen för att sola och pimpla litervis med vatten. Två timmar senare var snurrigheten borta och jag mådde som en prinsessa! Då var det dags att väcka det övriga sällskapet, vilket inte var en helt enkel uppgift. Tur att man är envis.. En dag i Dubai fick inte passera utan att vi hade gjort något, således pressade fem individer in sig i en liten bil och åkte till Mall of Emirates. Bakom mig är den knasiga skidbacken. Bara i Dubai kommer man på tanken att bygga en skidbacke mitt i öknen!

...och förmodligen bara här säljer man überblingade fotbollsspel för fantasipengar...

Dubai 31 dec. 2008 New Years Eve!

Many big fishes in Mall of Dubai..

Cultural clash 1.

Cultural clash 2.

New Years Eve was celebrated amongst Haneens wonderful family. There were heeps of all sorts of dishes from Jordan. Very nice alltogether!

Lots of meat and guess who loves meat?!

Haneen with her mother and Marcus.

At another party after midnight..

Early or late, whatever you wish to call it. Anyhow, this was party number three that we stumbled upon on our way back to Haneen and Marcus apartment..

First Erik jumps and then I go for it...

Dubai 30 dec. 2008, quad biking in the desert!

This was the first time I tried out quad biking and I loved it!

Erik doing a jump.

After two hours in the desert I was very bruised (I fell off a couple of times..), sweaty but utterly happy! My legs were vibrating for a while after I got off the bike, partly from excitment and partly from the violent vibrations that the bike made.

Dubai 29 dec 2008, some biking to be done.

Dinner and drinks in the medina.

There is nothing like a good steak!
Victor found something interesting on the menue.

There was some trouble with the battery that had to be attended to. So many guys to fix one problem!

Just a normal garage in Dubai..

The guys with one of Marcus' toys.
