Kangaroos and Koalas in Dubai
Nothing like a good nights sleep; does wonders for the mind and body. When I woke up, I was feeling so much better than the day before. Even in a strange bed, I was surprised just how comfy it was1 I know it’s one of the best four star Dubai hotels, but all the same, the bed was unexpectedly comfy.
I’ve only been here a few days and this new country was calling for me to check it out. I decided to do the ‘touristy’ things. But before that, I just had to take in a few laps in the swimming pool and kick around the football with some local kids in the courtyard of the hotel and then take one more swim. I then went outside of my hotel to catch a bus. I ended up meeting a great couple, they were trying to catch the same bus that I was. We had tremendous fun trying to wave down a bus for almost three-quarters of an hour! Each bus continued to ignore us, and we had to ignore the taxis wanting to give us a lift. Eventually, we all decided to split the taxi fare, which was great because we were also headed to the same park! Za’abeel Park.
When we arrived, we went our separate ways. My first day here, I managed only a moment here, but now I can investigate the park all day. I was hoping to find a mini golf course, but that hasn’t been built yet. The park itself is very relaxing and very beautiful, so green and it insulates one from all the hubbub of the city. I made it from one end to the other and I crossed path with so many strange statues, like a koala monument and a surfing Kangaroo, very weird indeed. I then headed back out of the oasis to the concrete jungle of gigantic tall buildings. It was a very hot afternoon and walking around was wiping me out. I hailed a taxi to take me back to my hotel so I can hang around the pool for the rest of the day.
