I spy with my little eye... sunrise in Umm Al Quwain.

If you are following me on Facebook, you know that a few days ago I woke up at 5am to go spend a morning on G.'s boat in Umm al Qwaim. Our little team woke up, well tried to wake up in the car, on our way there, but what a thrill to start the day on the water. The idea was to be there early enough to catch up the cool hours of the day. Some of us wake boarded, others just daydreamt... Such a treat! Thank you G. for organising this.

And I can tell you we did feel the difference between the 6am and the 11am temperature. That difference being emphasised by the car A/C breaking on the way back, while we were in a traffic jam, by 50°C. Now you understand why I laughed so hard when I received a newsletter from France this morning in my email box that was entitled "It's too hot to work". Paris is not hot ladies and gentlemen; 50°C on the road, in the desert, with no A/C is hot. A big thank you to J. for not losing it while driving!
