Hello Ladies of the Internet,

The day started normally – that is, normally from a Dubai standpoint. Crazy pampered, with a coffee in hand on the terrace with a breathtaking view of the stretches of water between the Leaves of The Palm. Our little Clossiger has been yapping on and on and on about how he wanted us all to scuba dive in the hotel’s aquarium to see all the 65,000 marine animals that live within it. Coffee in our hands, Claude and I simply ignored him and went on with our businesses.

Meanwhile he got all hot and bothered about the fact that we never do what he wants – which is “merde de toro” (excuse my French) because most of the time we feel like we live in his little bratty dictatorship.

First we took the behind the scenes trip so I could get more accustomed to the animals, especially the sharks. And then this question popped in my mind. How come the fish don’t eat each other? The guide went into minute details explaining how the feeding cycles work. To make a long story short, the animals are always properly fed so they do not feel the need to eat their flatmates. And sharks especially are super uninterested in anything but swimming around as long as their belly is full.

So, as it very often happens, Claude and I bent all the way and the next thing you know we were trying to stuff ourselves in the polyurethane scuba gear. And ladies, let me tell you: this was BY FAR the most amazing and soothing experience I’ve lived on this Earth. In the first 5 minutes after entering, a shark swam over my head – I got so scared  I thought my heart will pound straight out of my chest. But seeing how my boys were enjoying themselves, reality sinked in. The sharks were really just floating by, and they were so marvelous to look at. I felt all my muscles at ease again and I could just enjoy the show. I felt like time was trickling by in slow-motion. The only thing I could hear was my own breathing but what I was seeing was a whole new Universe unfolding before my very eyes.

The feeling of weightlessness and slight pressure made me feel like I was flying. I highly recommend this experience, it is the best way to destress.

Needless to say, the next days we strolled in the aquariums (by foot) daily, just to soothe our nerves and decompress. And I think that blue and yellow look really chic on us, right?
