One Night in Abu Dhabi


At Al Fanar Restaurant, Abu Dhabi, waiting for food. Al Fanar is a restaurant specializing in Emirati food. Unfortunately for us, the only food still available was some gravy / curry-type dishes and rice dishes. No more friggin grilled stuff (what d’ya expect when you visit at ...err 10.20pm? 10 minutes before closing time?)

Decided to take the easy way out (again) and post photos of a mini family gathering with Kim’s family in Abu Dhabi. This is a follow up to our one night meet up in Munich earlier (see this post). Kim and family had an overnight stopover in Abu Dhabi, on their way back to New Zealand, from their trip to Germany. Somehow or other, our meet ups always end up like one night stands!! Not good, definitely not good, will have to make an effort to meet longer the next time.


Our group photo at Al Fanar – no legs thanks to waiter photographer at the restaurant, and grainy quality thanks to our good ol’ phone cameras


It’s way past Jared’s bedtime according to Kim (but how do you keep a schedule, when you’re flying across err… 10 time zones?!!)


A tree in the restaurant! (It’s fake by the way)


A lock-up cell for the children, while the adults eat. All restaurants should have facilities like this. Kidding, it’s a sitting room for eating on the floor, Arabic-style. We wanted a room like that, but they’re not available as the restaurant’s about to close for the night


Outside the restaurant – try spotting these – two men, two babies, and two goats
