Yesterday we roamed around by ourselves.
IT IS HOT HERE
Walked in the shade and underground as much as possible. Underground there is a whole clean city of shops and restaurants along wide pleasant corridors AIR CONDITIONED.
A cold drink on the open air terrace, 57th floor
of Marina Sands Hotel in the large shopping mall. Looked at the infinity swimming pool up there. Pictures of that to follow.
Went to an Art Gallery and saw originals done by Picasso, Dali, Renoir, Matisse and others. Works different than we have seen before.
On to the modern art museum. Interesting exhibits.
Tired out, we tried in vain to get a taxi.
Found the subway, figured how to buy tickets and make the necessary transfer. Very crowded. None of the young people offered us their seats. (That would not have happened in the UAE)
Voila, we made it to the proper stop in a mall.
Now to get a taxi to the hotel. Too tired and hot to walk. Found the long cue and waited like all the other people til our turn to get into the next taxi.
Congratulated ourselves. Successful adventure in a foreign city.
But tomorrow we will hire a guide
