Back in Fujairah and a visit to another fort, plus a drive through the mountains.
New Video: Abu Dhabi HD #6 - Fujairah
In this video I find myself in Fujairah in the Northern Emirates and spend a couple of hours looking at some of the local places of interest.
Fujairah - New Video Coming Soon
There hasn't been much filming going on recently thanks to the onslaught of the Summer heat.
Even short walks have resulted in black camera gear getting what seemed to be dangerously hot at times. It just isn't pleasant to be pounding the streets at this time of year and if you're not sitting by a pool, anywhere air-conditioned is the next best place to be.
This week saw me in Fujairah with work and, with an unexpectedly early finish, I thought that this was an opportunity and see some of the sights highlighted in the hotel literature.
It was all a bit rushed and improvised, but it was nice to see something different and the mountain ranges are spectacular.
I'm putting something together now, so hopefully there'll be something on the channel in the next few days.

ADHD #2 - Riding the Dubai Metro
In this video I head to Dubai to see Dubai differently from the Metro.
I get on the 'Red' line at the southern end at UAE Exchange in Jebel Ali and ride all the way to Rashidiya in the north before interchanging with the 'Green' line for most of its length before heading back south.
ADHD #1 - Al Hudayriat Island
In this, the first ADHD video, I put my bike on the back of the car and head to the cycling track on Al Hudayriat island.
This is at the end of the 'Bridge to Nowhere' which in 2018 was opened and, instead of the planned development, beach and leisure facilities were opened including the well-paved, quiet and floodlit cycle tack with a loop of round 10km.
It was a hot morning and I had the place to myself as the temperature marched towards 40 degrees!
Back to Blogger & new domain name
So after a very long absence, it is time to kick this blog back into life! I have registered the domain name www.wandojames.com as I try to develop my YouTube channel, based on content from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) where I currently live. I hope to post videos weekly, but, you know, work commitments blah, blah, blah!
Anyway, the first video is close to going live and is a short film of the cycling track on Al Hudayriat island at the end of the 'Bridge to Nowhere.' It's a terrific (though sometimes windy) circuit of around 10km and always seems to be deserted when I go. Having said that it was already 36 degrees when I went at 1000 at the end of May.
Likely to go live tomorrow, so stay tuned!
