Dubai Day 14: Abu Dhabi Tour.

By -
We had to get up a little early for our VIP Abu Dhabi tour. Apparently the vehicle was going to be a mini-van but we were allowed to bring a car seat so that we could bring Elsy along with us. There were three other travelers with us making it a full vehicle.

The driver was nice in helping us, but we were a little surprised that all he did was drive us around to the various sightseeing spots but there was no explanation as to what each location was about.

So this was actually worse than the Dubai city tour as we got to go to places, but had no idea what was going on really. We weren't even able to get into the presidential palace grounds either, although it probably was not that much of a miss.

We were planning on going to the beach this morning but our plans got derailed when Serena stomped on Elsy's face and we had to wait for the bleeding to stop. It took so long that there was a chance we needed to go to the hospital. In the end, we thought it too risky to leave the house this morning lest the gusher started again, and so we set up the water table at home instead.

So it seems as if the link I had to the Polynesian Cultural Centre was flagged as a bad site. I double checked the link and, yup, I got a warning when I tried to visit it. I double checked if the link was changed and no, the search and Wikipedia still point to the same page so.. I just removed the link. We will see how the repost goes.
