The long awaited brunch day was finally here! Being careful not to eat anything, we headed over to the Wafi for a nice coffee before getting dressed up for brunch.
BsKnee having brunch at the Dusit
The chosen venue for brunch was the Dusit Thani (which is actually a 5 star Thai hotel). On the 24th floor of the Dusit, there are great views towards the beach side of Dubai. We had a window seat, in a cubicle all to ourselves – and we were feeling pretty good about it! Then, the gluttony began…
We had seafood of all sorts, Thai dishes, meat dishes, sushi, sashimi, cheese, deserts, you name it!!!
Desert at the Dusit
– the food was absolutely glorious! One of the features has to be the chocolate fountain – where chocolate flows and you can dip marshmallows and strawberries into it. And, of course, there was as much wine and beer as you wanted. We kept our composure and kept it seemly, but had plate after plate of delicious food. Not sure if the Dusit made any money out of us – but we had a fantastic time. We rolled out 4 hours after we started, feeling pretty fat and happy.
THE Chocolate Fountain
After a wee rest (gee – eating that much food is so tiring), we went over to the Wafi again, but certainly couldn’t face eating anything! We had a couple of quiets in a bar/restaurant called Carters, and called it a night.
On our last full day in Dubai before heading to Turkey, we had plans to meet up with a friend of Karla’s called Delanie.
Lunch at the Lime Tree Cafe
Well, as it so happens the world continues to be such a small place. Delanie’s husband works for the same company as Neil and Sandra’s son Mark – and they knew each other! The venue for lunch was the Lime Tree café – a place we’d been before and enjoyed – but this time we got to walk in the front entrance (last time it was Ramadan and we had to sneak in the back). The place was pumping, and we enjoyed a relaxing time with Delanie, Andrew, Jack and Jamie. That’s all of us in the photo.
On the way back to the hotel, another investment was made at the gold souk… will it ever end???
Tomorrow we’re off to Turkey to begin our tour there. Not sure of the chances of being able to post anything tomorrow – but if we can – we will!
