Oman/Dubai - The Border

Delay in posting as usual.  I will start writing more often...

Getting used to Dubai life.  Very up and down, one minute you feel fabulous in your KG heels at a glittery fancy party... the next you find yourself sweating in a smelly queue to renew your visa in Oman. 
Yes... I am doing the monthy trip to the Oman border.  I went with James and a new friend Guy for male protection!  Chose to go on a national holiday foolishly where every man and their 17 children appeared to be vacationing at the Oman Immigration Office.  A stunning 2 hour drive through the red desert to a shack (Dubai immigration), then through to Oman.  Price inflation from 50 dirhams to 200(£40)!  Gutted.  Sadly, as we set of late and the 3 hours of queue times, we did a U-turn and came straight back!  Had some meats and a mini grill so stopped off in the desert and took some night photos.  James taught me his favourite painting with light techniques - funfun.  Followed by some charred burgs.  So we ended on a high after all.  A meat high.

My new love - 2000 Range Rover.

My next visa run is due next week... bring it on.
