Day 3.

After a restful sleep I got up just after 5am to catch the sunrise.


The sky was unusually clear which made for a brilliant and striking display as the sun rose above the horizon.


Looking down on the crashing waves.


The Port of Ajman and the city behind in the distance.


The strip of beach separating the resort and the sea.


And back in our room with Hannelie now wide awake.


While Hannelie and Rianda went for a morning walk in the stroller around the resort grounds I headed out for a lazy jog.


Ajman spelt out in big colourful letters outside the Department of Tourism.


Outside Dino Live, an indoor dinosaur exhibition.


Back at the resort beach with my running gaiter specially designed to scare people into social distancing!


After all the morning exertion I couldn't resist stripping to my running shorts for a morning dip in the sea.


After showering up and feeding Hannelie we headed back to Vinesse for breakfast.


Unlike the buffet at the Fairmont, breakfast was a la carte this morning.


French press coffee to start.


Some fresh fruit, pastries and condiments.


My eggs benedict with turkey and a side of smoked salmon.


And Rianda's pancakes with maple syrup and cream.


After the tasty breakfast we headed down to the relax in one of the pool cabanas.


And had a weekly lockdown Zoom session with the family back in New Zealand.


Another refreshing dip in the temperature controlled pool.


Hannelie with her swimsuit on and sporting a fresh layer of suncreen.


And enjoying a dip in the pool too.


Enjoying a coffee and chocolate on the balcony just before we had to check out at 1pm.


And packing the bags in the Kia after a great weekend staycation in Ajman!
