Not the Red Bull Air Race
We headed off on Friday morning to the UAE's capital, Abu Dhabi, to watch the Red Bull Air Race. Unfortunately, a storm blew in and the event just never quite started!
Here we are, Mike (other Mike), Dianna, Wendy and Zadok in our perfct position to NOT watch the race....
It was good to have a look around and see what the place was like though. It is a much older city than Dubai and not quite so flashy.
The waterfront is beautiful, the planes were meant to fly around the Conriche throught these big blow up things and from the footage they were showing it looked amazing. The planes fly up to 400 km p/h I think.
Check it out HERE, they have some clips aswell.
They postponed the race until the next day (Saturday) it seems they went ahead even though the weather still wasn't great. Maybe we will get to go next year! This morning there is heaps of thunder and lightning and more rain! Wish I was at home in bed!
