Day 7 - Tue 24 Sep: Abu Dhabi

31 - 43 deg C (74 - 19 % humidity)

As I had a 9am meeting with the IT department, I was at breakfast earlier than usual, and did not hang around to chat. After the meeting, I met up with Jane at the congress venue to discuss the various options available to us with respect to the website. That took until almost lunch so it was not worth going back to the hotel as we had the Board Meeting starting at 12:30pm.

After the Board meeting, which went for two and a half hours, Jane and I had a wander around the exhibition which lasted all of about two minutes. Whilst Jane stayed to liaise, I headed home.

I was supposed to attend the French reception at the French Embassy as the guest of one of my Canadian colleagues, but due to the late-night last night, I decided to stay in. Instead, I attended the Taiwanese reception here at the hotel where I was able to have a few nibbles and a glass of not-too-shabby red wine, before it was time to have a long read of the inside of my eyelids.


Tomorrow is going to be a very L-O-N-G day.

No photos today.
