Day 3 - Abu Dhabi and travel to Nepal

Day 3 started early with a trip to Abu Dhabi before catching a flight to Nepal.

The Sheikh Zayed Mosque is an amazing structure.  I wanted to take M & G inside but we didn't have time. Next up was Emirates Palace: 

Quite simply, this picture doesn't do it justice.  

Here's a giant Christmas tree inside the hotel and... and...

A gold ATM machine.

My friend Youssef was our driver for the day.

Although Dubai has more skyscrapers, Abu Dhabi has some of the most amazing architecture.  

On the flight to Nepal we were able to see the Palm Jumeirah - man-made islands.  

 Once in Nepal we were greeted by my friend Vikram.

 A toast:  Here's to travelling to the other side of the planet!
