ABU DHABI: Gold to eat

The next day we wanted to see the skyline of the Corniche and go first for a coffee in one of the most expensive hotels in Abu Dhabi, The Emirates Palace. Luckily we made an appointment first, so they let us in, otherwise we would have only seen the hotel from the outside.


We had one of the most expensive cappuccinos, the Emirates Palace Cappuccino; rich espresso topped with frothy fresh milk and 24 carat gold flakes!

Everywhere you looked in the hotel there was gold. Afterwards, we crossed the street and went to the beach. Some of them are free, but then you risk local Indian workers standing and staring at you. It was very windy at the beach and very few people went for a swim.
