Planking in the U.A.E

I'm a bit of a child sometimes. I find really stupid things funny. Planking is one of these things. Here are some pictures.


Bars
In a bar. This was a great night as it was ladies night. This meant that women only paid 1 AED. (20p) for a cocktail. It was one of my favourite nights here as not only was I getting free drinks but I didn't have to go to the bar all night.
All night I had girls bringing me drinks from the bar. Suffice to say, I got very drunk and was in a brilliant mood. So I planked.


Ladies nights happen all over the city and there is one on every night of the week. This means that girls can pretty much drink for free every night of the week. And if I tag along, so can I. :) I love Abu Dhabi!


This is also in a bar. Surfing on top of me is my Habibi Andy. He likes to get involved and it makes planking more fun if an American is going to surf on you.

Hotel team plank

Planking is contagious. These are my new friends Kirby and Cory. They are great plankers and I hope to be planking with them again soon.


This was after a heavy night out in the lobby of a 5* hotel. Planking is more fun where people don't expect it. The concierge thought it was hilarious. (To our faces)

Water based planks

Planks don't have to be on dry land!

You can hardly see me in this one - but if you look closely. I am planking on an inflatable, water based climbing wall.


Nightclub plank

This is my favourite one. It is a shame you can not see the reactions of the people stood around.
Basically, there was a dance off going on and people were break dancing in the centre of a circle. I ran up, told people to stand back and to clear a space - I then made a show of psyching myself up, deep breathing as if I was going to do something spectacular. Then planked!


and finally....

The camel plank


I know, I know, I am not in a proper plank position. But the camel kept moving and I had to do it quickly or I may have got into trouble. (Thanks to Cathy for distracting the Bedouin for long enough)

My next post will be serious. Maybe
