We have since moved to the city of Al Ain which is an inland city near the Omani border. It has lovely red sand dunes and mountains. A couple of friends Gavin and Kay are coming to work here so have come up to help them and the 40 odd other peolel settle in. We're staying at the Hilton as we move about sorting out apartments and villas. We have been drying our "smalls" on our decks as the rooms are cool and the gear drys in an hour out there. At Al hitmi John would wonder in his lava and his Dan Carter underwear to keep cool. He is quite partial to his DCs. Unfortunately he had them out on his deck drying and they blew away. So he had to go and fosci in the date palms looking for his DCs. To date they haven't been found which he is quite distressed about. Given Dan's performance in the weekend they could be worth a few dollars!
Another little point of interest. While the Internet is slow TV reception is great. All satellite. So imagine a coupel of nights ago sitting down to get dinner at about 9 after a very hectic day to flick ont he TV to watch Manawatu do over Reubin's men. Where's Scotty when you need him. Scott I must say dinner tasted wonderful after that display. So just to let you know... you can get the NPC 120kms inland from Abu Dhabi in case you wanted to know.
