We drove through some small towns, some wadies and armed with our GPS, we located a very nice spot to set up for the night. This time around Nicky and Neil were getting faster at setting up their tent. I searched around the area for some "firemaker bush" to get our fire started, Nicky prepared the tent for the night, Barry got the food ready for dinner and Neil climbed a hill to get it all on video. Our fire was perfect, the sky was clear, the stars were bright and the breeze was sand free. Now THIS is camping. We marked this spot on the GPS so we could visit it again and named it after Nicky and Neil.
Bon Jovi played Abu Dhabi at the Palace and thanks to Neil we all went to the event in class. VIP tickets to Bon Jovi! VIP in Abu Dhabi is very nice! No overcrowding, overpouring of the G in the G&T, clean flush toilets and we didn't have to get mixed up in the parking dabacle after the concert. First class all the way!
Waking up refreshed, we made ourselves some breakfast and washed it down with coffee. The last sight to see was a waterfall. We drove and drove, walked and climbed and we couldn’t find the waterfall, although we could hear it. In conclusion, Nicky and Neil claimed not to be the camping type but handled the good and the bad incredibly well. I would even go so far as to say that Nicky has natural camping instinct :-) There was no complaining during this trip by either party and we give Nicky and Neil top marks especially since there was a point I would have packed up to protect myself from the walls of sand.
