Busy day today without the baby. Sophie has a nanny that comes in three times a week to give her a break from baby care. So we made the most with a day out. First was a visit to the old town where all the foreign embassies are situated. Next to which are the souqs. To get there you have to get a small ferry boat across the river. It’s mainly spice and gold that are on offer. Lots of gold, lots of gold. You do tend to get pestered by traders trying to sell you anything from perfume to fake watches. Interesting morning.
The Dubai men’s tennis tournament is currently taking place so Sophie had booked a couple of tickets to attend. I’m not a big tennis follower but it was interesting to see. There were three courts and we had tickets up in the gods for centre court. Not Wimbledon but nice stadium. We watched the first match before having to get back home to let the nanny go. What was surprising was you could bring a beer into the stands.
