a day in Dubai

Thanks to the jet lag and time change we were up early. We had a delicious breakfast at our hotel, a huge variety of foods to try. From there we headed out to Jumeirah Beach to check out the Burj Al Arab (pictured above). It was still before 10am, but it was already sweltering and we waded in the water to cool off, but the ocean was already warm like a bathtub. That wasn't too refreshing so we headed to Wild Wadi Waterpark. We enjoyed the morning there, relaxing in the lazy river, riding watersides, and Cody had a blast on the flowrider.
In the afternoon we headed back to our hotel to get a break from the heat. Along the way Cody enjoyed pointing out all the high end cars. We were both exhausted from the heat and jetlag, so we had a lazy rest of the day.

Today we have to check out of our lovely (air conditioned) hotel, and we don't fly out until almost 4am, so we will be trying to stay cool today. We are planning to hang out by the pool for a while, and then head to the Dubai Mall.

I am looking forward to the cooler temperatures of Cape Town!
