Dubai, Saturday 2nd December 2006

We were supposed to be going to the last day of the Rugby 7's today and even though it was raining we were still eager to go, however, once we arrived (by taxi) at the stadium it was POURING and quite cold....there was no shelter from the rain (apart from shadecloth) and the line up of people leaving and waiting for taxi's went on for miles so we decided to turn around and go back home. Unfortunently, as much as we wanted to go to the games (the best day as it was the finals and presentation of the overall winner) we decided it wasn't worth getting sick over. It took ages to get out of the stadium, but at least we were dry in our taxi, as opposed to the thousands of other people trying to get a taxi.

Here are some photos I took out the taxi window on the way home :)

The roundabout near our apartment - half the road was flooded with water

At the sports stadium - before we decided to turn around and go home

Out the front window of our taxi - mud, mud, glorious mud!!!

The water was so deep in parts that people were wading in up to mid-calf
