Visit 20 capital cities

After a short holiday in Dubai we went to Abu Dhabi. It’s less than one hour away from there. The capital is nothing special really, the only good thing about it, that it’s really green. We went into the famous hotel Emirates Palace, it’s really beautiful from outside, elegant from inside, dark and gold. I saw the huge mosque, which is the largest mosque after Mecca in KSA. We went to Marina Mall as well, which have a caffee somewhere very high. You take the lift and you just go, and go and you have no idea when it will stop, it’s thrilling. These are the main things to see there.
And soon the Yas Hotel, which was built in a whale shape and will be an impressive hotel above the racing truck.

We visited Athens in May 2009. My cousin lives there, so it was a good opportunity to go to see her. We explored the city, Acropolis, Ermou, Parliament, Sintagma, and in the eveinings we went out to fashionable bars. I had a great time there.
But the city itself is very crowded. And there are excellent opportunities for shopping! :)

I think that’s it… I’ll edit it if I can think of anymore.

I wasn’t expecting to get anywhere near that many, granted 12 are in the caribbean and 10 of those are from sailing, so I didn’t spend much time in them, but that’s more capitals that I expected.
