Bus Trip

Well now that I got everything figured out with my debt card I was good to go this morning with my advance in my bank account and my card working. So a group of us decide to head out on the Big Bus Tour. It was a great trip I got to learn so much more about Abu Dhabi then just by riding in taxis. Our first round we stayed on the bus for the whole tour. Once we got back to the mall we decided that we would hope off and take a break. We knew that there were two more trips so we opted for the 3:20 bus to take us back out to Marina Mall.

Once we were back on the bus it was off to start our night at Marina Mall. I figured I would pick up a few things that I knew I was going to want that would be hard to get out in Madinet Zayed, a Multi-region DVD player and IPod speaker. After getting a DVD player I hoped would work in the for my DVDs (they said in the store it would) and finding a nice IPod speaker and alarm clock all in one, YAH two more things I can check off my list (maybe three if the DVD player works). Well after that we went to dinner at Biella, which was amazing. We then headed back to the Hotel to drop off our bags and head out for dessert.

The cab ride home was one of the best I have been on since Lee and the drive had a great conversation about his life. It is so great to listen to someone who wants to tell you their story and is trying as hard as they can through the language barrier. He was also the best since another car tried to cut us off and he was able to stop us from getting in a car accident. After we got back to the Hotel we dropped off our bags and headed to Abu Dhabi Mall. We started with a great dessert that hit all the sweet spots I had. We shared a Chocolate strawberry cake, yeah it tasted like it sounds too. I had so okay hot chocolate, I like the hotel’s better and Lee had a cappuccino (that burned her tongue). We then on a slight sugar high headed to walk the mall to see if she could find a purse. It was the funniest and best time. We were trying to find a nice purse, but man, are they still expensive here. We decided that tomorrow we will be cheap and go check the mall across the way to see if they have any Coach or Prada bag on sale.

After all of this it was back to my room for the moment of truth to find out if my DVD player works. It to the tech guys to come and help me and after about thirty minutes of them messing with their cords, come to find out it works, so one more thing to check off the list. So now it is off to bed to watch a movie and then start another day tomorrow.
