Oh my goodness, it
felt like a hurricane was getting ready to pass through Baku this past weekend.
It really was windy out.
On Saturday I'd
arranged for one of the work buses to pick up a group of us and take us on a
day trip to the beach. And I was a bit worried when I peeked out the window in
the morning and saw leaves blowing everywhere. But as soon as we got out of the
city it wasn't quite as bad. Although it was still quite breezy.
If you want a nice
beach around here you have to pay. A lot of the coast is polluted by the oil
rigs, so you have to go up the coast a bit further where the beach club. You
have to pay to get in but they have nicer water. We're not talking
Barbados-nice. More Bournemouth. But still.
I wasn't expecting
much, but it was loads fun to have a day out with everybody. There was crazy
golf and water sports {not that we actually did either, next time} and a couple
of restaurants to choose from.
The main reason we
went though was because the Euro Beach Soccer Cup was being held at the
Jumeirah Hotel just up the road. There
were only two matches on that day, but it was fun to watch. Dan had a great
time with his GoPro recording all the action and some of the players were
really good with their bicycle kicks.
