On Friday, I went to 'brunch' at Al Qasr at the Madinat. It's a ritzy boutique hotel and you pay through the teeth. But it must be experienced. From 12.30 to 4.30pm, it's all you can eat and drink from three restaurants, serving every kind of food under the sun. We had a gathering of 5 Kiwis and 2 Brits to welcome Morrie (also from Wellies) and I to Dubai.
From the table centrepiece to the white choc fondue fountain, this place was amazing. Did I mention the anatomically correct life size golden horses on the lawn driving up. Where the valet parked the car. Rats, should have taken a photo!
I've got curtains! My room is almost complete. Drilling into concrete and steel is not a pleasant task, as Christine and I discovered, however we persevered and won!
And wah lah, the masterpiece! Still have to hang a painting and maybe do another one :) And my cargo has arrived with my paints so I can!

Wow! That sounds like so much fun. Personally I'm pretty disappointed about not having a picture of the anatomically correct horses. But nevermind.
