Nintex Webinar

we arrived at the flat in the middle of the night, got to bed at about 4am and was up with the sun at 7am.i then had my first view of the beach from the flat, and of Palm Jumeirah and what a spectacular view.
 
The first day we didn't do much, a couple of hours on the Webinar, listening to the trainer, lunch at Hilton Beach Hotel and after the webinar we had some food shopping at Mall of the Emirates.i was in no shape to do anything that required brainpower.
then we're having a walk.however, on our little walk to the Hilton *nearestneighbouronthebeach* we did pass two girls who were sun worshipers, at a high cost.they can't have been old, late 20's or early 30's, but they were so brown they looked leathery *andvenkatdontevenblinkhe'seyesOMGvenkat!!* bhahahahaha.how can it be better to look leathery and brown rather than less brown and healthy and youthful? beats me.
 
we went in to central Dubai, to the souks.we walked along Dubai Creek and through the Textile Souk, then took a small boat over the creek to the Spice Souk, but did not hang around there for long, the stall owners kept hassling us trying to get us to enter their shops/stall and buy things.if they had just left us alone we would most probably have bought stuff, as it was, we just got out of there and found our way to the Gold Souk.here people were just stopping us asking if we wanted fake Rolex watches and handbags.heh.
 
we headed to Al Ain and were going to try to get over into Oman and Fossil Valley, go walking.unfortunately Venkat is having problems getting his residency visa stamped in his passport and the immigration officials are sitting on his passport.from previous experience there was no passport control where we were planning to go, but things have changed in 7-8 years, and we had enough problems trying to find the right road in the right direction, let alone the right road without the control post.so we did not manage to go to Oman.
 
it was a very misty day somemore with our class so I didn't take many pictures, and the few I took did not turn out very good.but on our way down we came across a bird of prey, and I wish we'd had the camera out then.so thats all bout going to dubai for Nintex Webinar.it was an awesome trip anyway.but we dont have much time to spend.
 
my next course would be in Auckland and LA *hoping* please list in my name boss i really wanna go.bhahahahaha.
