We popped to the Shangri-la for a buffet. This is Abu Dhabi, and this is a five star hotel, so as expected everything was opulent and out of proportion. Take the stair case for example.
Lovely, but those big things above the plants are gross. Anyway, behind the stairs was the buffet itself, with food from around the world. Only the butter chicken was really worth noting. Absolutely delicious. Outside were some nice vistas:
 |
| Private beach. |
 |
| A bridge over water which, if it's a citizen of UAE, is not likely to be troubled. |
|
Of particular delight to the eye was the Sheikh's mosque, big, brash, white and beautiful; and for me the epitome of the Emirates: something straight from Aladdin.
 |
| Sheikh and not stirred |
