Day 3 An uneventful morning as Narms caught up on her sleep and I wrote the blog and sorted photos on the laptop. Then we headed once more back to Diera City Mall as Narms was having problems with her phone. We had lunch at Colours CafĂ© and it was there that I was able to get one hour free wi-fi so I could post the first two days notes to my blog. I wasn’t able to add photos which was a bit of a pain. Not sure why, but I will try today to do that. While I was doing that Narms went twice back to the phone shop before finally getting it sorted. It was then up to the second floor to Carrefour where we did our serious shopping. I got the gift boxes of dates I was after – probably the only dates I am likely to have!!! Woops, forgot to mention the lovely lady we sat with while we ate our lunch. A professor at the university teaching structural engineering. She came from Jordan and had previously worked for some time in the USA. She is married with young boys, so her and Narms shared children stories. We spent a good couple of hours shopping in Carrefour, it is huge and sells absolutely everything. After we got back to our room Narms discovered that she had left one of her shopping bags in a shop called Forever 21, so she headed back there to recover it. We had earlier decided that an early night was in order as we had had a phone call from the tour company advising that pick-up time for the Hot Air Balloon trip in the morning is 4.30am. OMG, I wasn’t sure there was such a time.
