Road Trip

A friend of mine had the idea to visit all the seven Emirates as a new year day adventure and let me tag along. We ended up having a fabulous road trip. It was a quiet day on the roads because of the holiday, and we made lots of stops to check out some very quirky sites.

Here's a small sample of what we saw. I plan to put together a detailed post about this trip after I sort out all the photos. So for now, enjoy this small selection or surreal moments from the road trip.

Thanks! There's definitely a lot to see in the country. These pics were taken with my mobile. Waiting to develop my the other pics, so hopefully the results are good so that I can post them here. Will try to add location details too.
