The day started with a trip to the majestic hotel Atlantis the palm. With more than 1200 rooms, this huge hotel also hosts 16 restaurants & bars, an aqua park and lots of other stuff. The cost of building it? Only a few billion $.

We started with some ice cream flairing at coldstone creamery and goofing around in starbucks and the hotel.

Of course we also visited the aqua park! I can enjoy myself for hours and run like a school boy between all the rides! Unfortunately we didn’t realize that the 45 degree’s hot sun would make the ground of the aqua park scorching hot for our non-flipflop-wearing feet. After about two hours, we couldn’t take any more pain!

Instead, we took a cab to a poorer, more traditional part of Dubai to visit a Pakistani restaurant called Ravi. The food was incredible!
