An afternoon watching Oceans
13 and relaxing in the room, before enjoying a light dinner of dim sum at the bar overlooking the
Dubai Creek. A cold dragon fruit mojito with
assorted steamed dumplings and red bean cakes overlooking the carousels and
Ferris wheels of Festival City as the wooden dhow boats float by. It was a beautiful setting.
There is a Belgium Pub
connected to their sister hotel and the bartender Brian gave us tastings from
the tap. Beer is like coconut to me…… I want to like it, keep trying to like it ,
but it never hits the taste buds quite right.
Brian poured a taste of a Cherry
Belgium beer for me and it was excellent- but too sweet. Greg savored a Leffe –blonde that I tried and enjoyed with the fruit aroma and then another sample
of a roasted hops / coffee brown beer
that was good. Still don’t love beer
but I have to say I enjoyed the Belgium beer more than any other beer I have
tried before.
The Intercontinental is
gorgeous and has floating orchids and candles in vases in every pathway around
the hotel, a short stay and then we are are off to China in the morning and our Asian adventure.
We have been practicing our
Chinese words and keep getting excited to try all the street food there is to
offer; grasshoppers, sea snake, silk worm larva , sea horses, scorpions….. and more!
Don’t worry animal lovers I
will stay away from the dog and cat food stalls.
Stay tuned and Good Travel!
