I caught a taxi to the Marina Mall, went looking around saw some amazing clothes. Beautiful dresses, stuff Nass would spend hours droolling on. Then I walked over to the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel. I'll post pictures. I then made a fun decision... walk! I walked and walked and walked. Was pretty lost, had no idea where I was going, but kinda knew where I was. I was in Abu Dhabi, somewhere. Eventually I got tired of walking, was hungry and a bit dehydrated so I stopped into the Captain Cafe. A little hole in the wall joint near the Corniche on what I now know was 4th street.

Here at the Captain I got a pastry with meat (lamb) and tomato sauce, reminded me of a cheeseless pizza ontop of a peice of Naan. Also, Rose shisha (hookah) and two bottles of water. Total cost 26AED. Thats roughly $5, Shit man, I can't get a hookah for $5 in the states! And it was good, with real coals, not that quick light compressed shit. Left a nice ass tip and took off down the street again.

Still unsure of where I was, I'm just enjoying the sights of the city, looking at all the cool buildings, enjoying the people, laughing at traffic... the fun stuff. Finally I spotted things I recognized. Turned out I was going the right way (as I suspected, but wasn't sure of) and ended up intersecting the road my hotel was on, two blocks over. Woot!

A very long walk indeed... I left at 10, got back at 3:30. I was exhausted, but it was worth it.

That night, got the least Halal meal I've ever had. The Brauhaus. Oooh yeah pig everywhere. Suckling pig, sausages, pork bellies, pig knuckles, pork chops, pork neck... ooooh yeah. Three little piggies in my belly. Along with a very nice Paulaner Weißbier. Oh I left there pretty stuffed. Mmm. Oh well. I will write you all later! Peace from Abu Dhabi.
