Abu Dhabi F1 Cycling

They have a great thing going at the Abu Dhabi F1 circuit on Sunday evenings. The circuit is opened for cyclists and if you register you can pick up a free bike and cycle round the circuit for up to three hours. it was fairly hot when I was there (40C)  but it was a great evening.

The Grand Mosque

I spent two days in Abu Dhabi in September, I managed to visit the Grand Mosque and it was an incredible building, I was there for about three hours just soaking in the atmosphere. I was fortunate to see the transition from day to night. it is well worth a  visit and one of the highlights of the year for me.

 

Rainbow trout sandwich

for some reason an image somes to mind of a whole trout stuffed between two slices of bread. I am sure it was nicer than that

Dresden station

Dresden is noting like as grand as Leipzig but there are some photos on the wall of what the station looked like before and during WW2. they are really show the damage the bombing caused. its really quite sobering.

A cool Starbucks

I have written a blog post on Leipzig station before, it really is of a different age .... from the grand old days of rail. The station cafe has been turned into a huge starrbucks and it has to be one of the coolest starbucks around, there is so much space and when you are sitting in it you feel like a film extra in a remake of brief encounter
