Fujairah (UAE)
Still enroute from Rota after midnight. Fortunately, I actually got to sleep for this leg. After we stopped in Souda Bay [at 0200L ?], I got back in front and got to see the action across Saudi Arabia all the way to the United Arab Emirates. Landed in Fujairah at around 0800L. Took a few hours to clear customs. Eventually, we got a ride to the Hilton Fujairah and checked into our rooms. I slept very well until the late afternoon. After meeting up with my crew again, we all went to a great buffet at the restaurant ("Sailors") in the hotel. Later, went to a nearby pub and had some drinks with the locals. Tried a "hooka-pipe" (apple wood). My internal clock is royally screwed...
