Al Mamzar Beach Park, Dubai

Around Halloween is the right time for holidays. The temperature of the sea and air become bearable for normal humans, like Canadians for instance. We were there a month later and we still catch some good weather. So; beach time.

First impreasons were good. Very good.

Nice roads, big parking lot, beautiful palm trees.

Swimers should be safe

But something doesn't feel right. No people around. When I finally find information panel I'd find out what is all about. They have days for men and days for women and children. Too bad. No bikinis today.
But when I'd read further I find even worse news: No alcohol on the beach. Not a big deal. I'm used to that here in Canada.
But then the shocker came: Grilling porc prohibited. Common guys, you must be kidding me.

I should expect something like that. Did you see that cat in the third photo? That's why!

We had enough beach for today. We want to drink a beer or two, but unfortunately, you can do that only in hotels.
So we bought some pastries instead, to calm down and start waiting for night to fall. We'll go to Irish willage. I was assuming that words Irish and beer kind of fit together. I was right.

At least pastries were delicious. They really were.

I didn't take a camera to the Irish pub. You never know how many beers will come on the table. I was sure that I saw a couple of moose on the way home and also took a shot.
But next morning after two aspirins I only saw this:

Our first day was not perfect, but not bad either. Irish beer helps a lot to improve the first impresion.

Maybe this one is from Abu Dhabi, but who cares. It's great, isn't it?

Steem on my friends!

See you
