Borat and the chicken




The young man who cleaned our hotel suite each day loved our chicken. Yesterday was his last day before he went back to Uzbekistan after two years in Abu Dhabi so he asked me to take his photo with the chicken. He did say then you put it on facebook so all your friends can laugh too.

Abu Dhabi Evangalical church.




Fabulous building, fabulous congregation. A bit over a thousand people from 60 countries.

Trip to Al Ain









The sand dunes are spectacular, much prettier and more interesting than I ever dreamed.






The sides of the highway are all lush and green with underground power but just a few metres beyond the green are the sand dunes.














We were warned

In this environment

You could also afford a decent spell checker?

Now for the important stuff


Yeah it does not taste like that nasty American coke either.

what is this chicken doing in our hotel room?


Bert went shopping in Dubai. I guess he misses our pet chickens but I don't think we will be getting a reliable source of eggs from this guy, he looks a little, well... stuffed.
