Visitors from The Rock, and others

The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, mainly around the Canadian Trade Delegation from Newfoundland. Our group in Abu Dhabi hosted 12 companies that were visiting the UAE for investment and trade opportunities.

We had the obligatory stay in a nice hotel with a view.

Dinner at Sheikh Nayahan's house.

And a visit to the Palace Hotel for the visitors.

In the midst of all that we managed to attend the wedding of Gary and Michelle.

Say goodbye (for now) to Sebastian.
(L to R: Sjoerd, Alex, Sebastian, David)
Honest, no inbreeding but "brothers" still the same.


Visit Martin and Salam to see their new daughter.

And a quick run thru Wadi Sidr (more on that later).

Bust a wheel rim and shred a tire.


Now a brief R&R and back to work.
