I dedicated my second day in Dubai to the modern Dubai. I took a taxi to Jumeirah – first to the waterpark Wild Wadi, located in front of the Burj Al Arab; later in the day I moved on to the Mall of the Emirates, home of the infamous Ski Dubai.

Today was a long day – a long day driving. We moved from Lake Malawi southwards – to the border between Malawi and Mozambique. We passed the border and moved on to the Jesus Camp near Tete.
