part iii - sweaty marina

after the disappointment at the madinat, cesar, a fellow trekker called and invited us to go to dubai marina. with no hesitation we went there since the place was nearby.

the place was good and a lot (i mean, a LOT) of high-rise apartments and offices are under construction and it's growing too fast. we stood nearby the lagoon (an artificial once again) and grab the opportunity of the sunset. although the view is good, the humid was not. we were sweating our asses in less than five minutes and did not take long sessions and went inside the air-conditioned premises.
