Just got 2 Dubai
Heeeeeeeeeeeeey, joy, after a rather exhausting plane trip of 11 hours (9000km) from Perth, W.A., I j u s t arrived in the city of sheiks, fat cars, the tallest building in the world and a palmtree made out of sand that got many into bankcruptcy.. YES, I’m in Dubai, UAE, stoked 🙂
I had a quick chance on the way from the aiport to take this shot in front of The Burj Al Arab, a landmark in the city – one of the most photographed structures in the world, and consistenly voted the worlds most luxurious hotel – and only have a few moments to write this, cause I’m on my way to meet up with a local kite crew for a trip into the desert, organized by my long-term friend of SHAMAL KITESURFING, check it out! Although it’s not a North Kiteboarding School, I really support Astrid, the really lovely and competent girl who runs it, an Austrian friend of mine, very good kitesurfer and great chick!
Ok, that’s it… can’t tell u anymore about the trip, just that there will be of course a great photographer be coming along. Stay tuned, it’s all a bit of a secret still at the moment but soon to be revealed in all leading kitemags around the globe 🙂 !
I doubt that I will be finding any internet connection in the desert… so that might be the only blog for the next 10 days…
Have fun for now & keep checking kitegabi.com for updates & news 🙂
Carpe Diem, Gxx
