Aloha and as-salaam alaykom from Abu Dhabi ('The Dhab').
We've just feasted on a breakfast of hommus, feta, pastrami and dates which is a brilliant start to a day. We haven't seen much else yet - arrived at midnight in 35 degrees (bit of a change from fog-soaked frosty Canberra - but it's great once you get used to it Mum..). From the window there's miles of sand, some very beautiful mosque sillhouettes across the horizon and heaps of date palms and associated birds and bugs.
We had some great people watching at the airport last night - it was still jumping well after midnight. Lots of moustaches, turbans, headscarves, flowing robes and dark-eyed babies. We'll be back on Etihad (the national airline of the United Arab Emirates apparently - and very pleasant too) this afternoon.
So it's ma'assalaama from me and ma'assalaama from him.

35 degrees- Heaven on a stick!!
Bring on the land of Bagettes, camembert (or laughing cow if you will?!) and whopping great bowls of coffee.
Love to Pmf x
