Frankie Travels - Skyscrapers

So we went for a walk along the Dubai Marina to admire all the boats - Some really big beautiful ones were parked there. Then we stopped off for supper on the way back. We landed up kinda sorta umm not making it to drinks with Brians friends - we sorta fell aslepp and slept until 2 hours after the event What can I say it's tiring looking at the properties of the rich and famous!! But to make something of the evening we decided to go on a kind of mini road trip. first we went to a building Brian used to stay in and took the lift to the 44th floor and then climbed the stairs to the 46th floor and took a door out to the window washers balcony rail-thingy. I got to admire Dubai from high up. Which is a stunning view especially since the area is so flat. So you can see the lights of the streets and buildings going out into the distance. A lot of the skyscrapers have lighting that changes so the building is pink then ed then yellow then blue then green Very Psycadelic :D you can also see the cars lined up at the robots and then a mexicana wave of the brake lights switching off - it sounds lame but from 46 floors up it's kinda amusing. Amusing like watching ants is amusing.

Then we finally left the roof to go on a little drive around. we got caught in very slow traffic past a shopping complex. I wasn't a problem because I got to stare out the window at the buildings and people (as well as the token 3 old men sitting on a bench having a chin wag) and so many sports cars I can't even list them all - Even Brian was impressed something like 3 Porches, an Aston Martin Vantage, two different Lambo's and many many Merc's and Beemers - What a difficult sight to behold ha ha ha!

We then drove out to some pretty apartment complex suburbs where the bulidings have big gardens. It must be a great place to stay. However in comparison. on the way home the day before we went thru an area where there are HUGE gates with security guards aand all you see is the driveway curving up away into the distance. (canyou say S-h-e-i-k-h-'-s P-a-l-a-c-e?) and THAT must be a very very very nice place to stay!!
