Dubai For 48 Hours: Burj Khalifa

Posted on January 18, 2013 | Leave a comment

A post for all the architecture lovers: this skyscraper is just beautiful! Beyond the technical prowess (the world’s tallest tower which rises to 829.8 m), Burj Khalifa is absolutely gorgeous! The photographer in me would had much more fun, if I had more time for taking pictures! But I had no time, I didn’t plan a visit to Burj Khalifa this evening and came across it by chance. Such a shame! If I had time, I would probably have taken 10,000 photos! (LOL!). No visit inside either, there is the Armani Hotel I wanted to check, but 2-3 snapshots of Dowtown Dubai and I go to the other end of the city to the Jumeirah Beach district. Distances are big.

Costa Neo Romantica: The Interiors

Posted on January 17, 2013 | Leave a comment

My short cruise in the Mediterranean

Following my previous posts, I received emails asking me how the Costa Neo Romantica’s interiors look like. Honestly, it’s really like “The Love Boat”! The interiors were freshly redesigned by Swedish designers and some of them look like the film sets of Lynch (picture 1), or Tarantino (picture 2). Yes I know, I have lots of imagination (LOL!).

As I stood outside, especially on the upper decks to enjoy the stonish panorama in my wicker egg (so relaxing and design!), or I was out and about at each stopover, I did not really pay attention to the interiors. Picture 3: Internet to calm the nerd!!! Pictures 4 & 5: really good gourmet restaurant.

Dubai, U.A.E.: The Infini Pool Lounge @ The Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach

Posted on January 15, 2013 | Leave a comment

The evening, I really enjoyed swimming at the pool of the Sofitel Dubai Jumeirah Beach. The day, it offers view down to the sea with turquoise reflections.The height allows to ignore a (surprising) car park between the hotel and the beach. But I am a night person and the Infinity Pool Lounge is a cosy space. Until midnight you can sip excellent fresh juices, nestled in a comfortable armchair, the head in the stars. The extremely kind staff of the lounge does everything to please you: serving you simple dishes that are not on the snacks menu.  Such a shame the rest of the hotel is so impersonal! And I didn’t like the hotel’s design.
