UAE: Looking into the future during a visit to Masdar city
Masdar City is a few minutes drive from the international airport in Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. If you are interested in energy and sustainable future, then the place is worth visiting also while on a few hours stopover on Abu Dhabi airport.

Remembering Abu Dhabi Corniche Walks
Corniche is a long sea promenade in Abu Dhabi and frequent place for afternoon or evening walk, cycling, running or just meeting friends.

This interesting statue is at the end of the promenade at Breakwater, between Marina Mall and Etihad Towers.
SAE: Zima sa blíži….
Neviem si predstaviť, ako bude vyzerať zima v Hre o tróny, na to si budeme musieť ešte počkať. Reálna zima však už prišla nielen na severnú pologuľu, ale aj do Emirátov. Na pár dní sme tu dali zbohom slnku a teplotám nad 35°C. 🙂

SAE: Cyklistika v Abu Dhabi
Počas víkendu 8-11 októbra 2015 sa v Abu Dhabi konali cyklistické preteky, ktoré sa dostali do kalendára Medzinárodnej cyklistickej federácie a zrejme sa z nich stane aj oficiálny každoročný pretek Abu Dhabi Tour. Domáci organizátor ich uvádzal pod nazvom “Ride to Abu Dhabi, 4 etapy, 555km, 3 šprinty a 1 kopec”. Celkom výstižné.
