After a days delay I finally made it to Dubai and met up with family. My brother and his wife Ratih, are putting us all up at their house at Arabian Ranches. We are looking forward to spending the Christmas and New Year holidays together. It will probably be a boozy time.
Arriving at Dubai airport – being met by my brother.
Christmas Eve Brunch at a Japanese restaurant – The idea of a brunch is that for a fixed price you get a nice meal and unlimited drinks within a certain timeframe. So it’s a case of ordering cocktail after cocktail whilst having a break for wine in between. Nobody leaves sober I think, and I don’t remember leaving anyway.
We spent Christmas Day at home and exchanged presents from under the tree. Following a very nice Christmas dinner, we played games, and then tried to outdo each other by making rounds of cocktails.
A Dirty Martini (shaken not stirred) – cheers everyone, Merry Christmas
