Trainspotter

I am an Anorak!


I have done it and I promise you will only see me sat onthe Monorail again when I am either drunk and planning a getaway from the Atlantis or someone is paying me a fortune.
Although there were hardly any people on it the majority were loud obnoxious brats who need a lesson in how to act in public. It made me remember why I have only been to the Mall of the Emirates 4 times since it opened. I need a bubble to live in and preferably one that does not glide on a few sheets of concrete up and down the Palm.
For those of you (Joanna) who think i only talk about beer, the price of a return ticket from the foot of the Palm to the Atlantis is the price of a pint. 25AED. Too much! I would rather get a taxi for 5AEd and suffer the wrath of an angry driver who is miffed that he got such a short ride.
In its defense the ride does give you a great view of the Palm and lands right outside the Atlantis door. I just can't see who would use it at the moment.
One group who will love it are the Trump Investors who get a cracking view of the construction site. No workers but a good view of the foundations which are capped off with concrete. Stop Mark!

View from the window... can you hear the kids!
