360 Bar

On Viv and Ian's last night we went to the 360 Bar. It's out on a walkway past the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, and has amazing views of the Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Beach, and the coastline. You are driven out in Golf carts from Jumeirah Beach Hotel. It was a mission to try and book a table and it took Del over half a hour on the phone to push our way onto a Platinum List (whatever that meant). Delanie did really well - she is better than her husband at pushing through some of the red tape you find wrapped around things here in Dubai. Anyway, she finally did it and then when we arrived we just walked straight through all the security and nobody questioned us. Murphy's Law. Was worth the effort - it really is a stunning bar with amazing views.
The place is generally absolutely full with "the beautiful people". The first time I went there I felt 10 years too old, ten kilos too heavy and about 10 million too poor....
The girls have arrived.

Getting giggly with a few cockatils.

Getting closer to the Burj Al Arab. Ian and Viv watching their last sunset with us for now. Ian reckoned the photographer got the proportions wrong, but I reckon it works!
"No - both drinks are not mine. But if she doesn't hurry up hers may be in trouble..."
The photgrapher finally on the other side of the camera for once. Looking staunch and serious too - very movie star.

Great spot - outdoors in the sea breeze, music going, couple of quiets. Really tough to beat.

Next time I am going to have dinner at the 360 Bar and may even drink both cocktails instead of sharing one will Tracy.
