Spa-cation
The Greenroom
The Greenroom does a mean traditional English roast. It’s not what immediately comes to mind on a 48°C day in Dubai. Nevertheless, we find ourselves here for an afternoon of multiple pool(s), table soccer and Sunday roasts.
Indoors
Arriving from the heat of the afternoon into the cool bistro style of The Greenroom, we are promptly seated although not quite ready for dinner.… Read the rest

Morning Breaks
I’m allowed to sleep in.… Read the rest
