Shame I missed Queens day this year... Hmm, actually not really, as Amsterdam is filled with orange people I don't like and as like you, it crazy to walk for an hour where you would be jetting through in 5 minutes. What are these people doing here :-)
Ok, have also to confess I didn't watch the wedding, couldn't care less about the dress and spent some time on the beach with my dad, what a day it was, from 9am till 6pm sunshine and chats, what more do you need if you are with family.
Had to go to a hotel award ceremony last night in Dubai last night on the Palm. Papa had a fun time, he was chatting up Gary Rhodes and his wife Jenny. They were lovely, very down to earth and bubbly. And was happy that my AUH marketing girls were there.

Today we went to a great exhibition, showcasing all the treasures of mesopotamia: www.tdic.ae/en/article/abouta-us/whats-new-archive/manarat-al-saadiyat-to-host-splendours-of-mesopotamia-exhibition.html Saadiyat Island is a fantastic development in Abu Dhabi, in two years time there will be a Guggenheim and a Louvre - YAY! We had a great lunch there too at the museum - I'll take you there next time you are here - you would love it! We had a lovely Arabic lunch, have you ever tried halloumi cheese and babaganoush? Not to forget the home made hommous with the fresh baked bread...
Ok, am taking him now to a sushi restaurant, if I can take him away from CNN and BBC from their breaking news :-)
Wish you were here, with love from AUH, c.a.
