Early start, out of the room by 6:30 because we needed to be at the other end of Dubai by 8am to catch a bus to Abu Dhabi for the day. The trip was 4-8 lanes each way for the whole distance, with not much gap between where Dubai finishes and Abu Dhabi begins. After a quick wake up coffee in Abu Dhabi we headed for the Grand Mosque. Works fail. Just Wow.

While we were here doing this at home was a day of chaos as the NSW fires approached our home area. Dad was there before he was evacuated to Bomaderry for the night. As far as I know the fires didn’t reach Cambewarra.

We then did a loop on the big bus through the city and beaches and harbour area. Beautiful city.
