Me and Stephen went to Abu Dhabi last Thursday evening to meet up with our friends! We accidentally ran into Divashni and Dave at the airport so we all took a taxi together to the hotel. They had bought some champagne to celebrate so we went up to their room for a quick glass, as it was already 00.30. Three hours, two empty bottles and a plate of samosas and chips later we went back to our room!
The next day us two, Divashni and Dave met up with Lyndsey and Harry and headed over to the Fairmont hotel to have brunch!
We ordered the wine and beer brunch and it was amazing! The whole room was filled with food, one area was sushi, one seafood, one was Indian food, one was pasta, one was meat, one was cheese and another was desserts!
So we started at 12 and finished eating and drinking at 16.00. We had had a few bottles each by this point! Then we headed to the bar next door and ordered jaeger bombs! have no idea whose idea that was (Divashni!) Ended up staying there for 5 hours!!! Then we thought it was a great idea to go to the famous Emirates palace, it basically looks like it is made out of gold!!! It is huge, 1 km from one end of the hotel to the other and you can buy real goldbars out of a machine! So we sat down in one of their bars and kept drinking, we were quite loud by this point and kept being told to be quiet, which we thought was super funny! all the boys where smoking cigars and us girls where sipping cocktails and eating chips!
12 hours later from when we went to brunch we got back to our hotel, the girls went to bed and the boys went to the bar in our hotel and kept drinking!
Surprisingly enough everyone was ok the morning after except Stephen! we was quite pale the whole day! We did spend some time around the pool which didn't make thing better since it was 45 degrees!
Divashni and Dave went home around 5, us two and Lyndsey and Harry went out for dinner and we then headed to our flight, it didn't leave until 12.30 Saturday night, so wasn't home until 5.30am! But we had all Sunday to rest so was quite lovely!t
Sunday night ended by being invited to a golf/art event in the ITC Mauraya (the hotel of choice in Delhi of the the foreign dignitaries). Was a bit of a society event with free drink, buffet, large screens to watch the end of the British Open. I played a bit on the mini-golf but did not do well enough to win any prizes, Stephen was upset as they had new golf clubs up for grabs.
This was really a great weekend!
