We have known about these kayaking tours for several years and today we finally got around to it.

There were no singles left so once again we were in a double kayak. No problem except that Sue just assumed that I would anticipate her every wish just as in all other aspects of our lives. So when she decided that we needed a double stroke on the right obviously there was no need to communicate this to me, I would just know.

Once the minor technical details had been ironed out we settled into a delightful tour of the mangroves. Despite distant views of Abu Dhabi skyscrapers it was easy to imagine that we were a world away from the city.
