Well hello from Dubai yes we made it!
We arrived about 12:30am last night or this morning which would have been fine if it didn't take another 2 hours to get through customs and find a taxi to the hotel, OMG I have never seen anything quite like it, we had to circle in the air a couple of times as the pilot advised it was the peak hour and a little busy but I don't think either of us expected it to be that busy!
The trip over from Paris was funny for 6.5 hours the plane was filled with about 90% grey brigade on their way for a cruise we figure, which would have been fine but they decided to wonder up and down the aisles argue with the crew and complain their wasn't enough wine the whole way, I just put on my headphones and watched a movie!
Anyway back to the passport control when we finally reached it about 2 km away from where we got off the plane there was about 10 000 people (and no I am not exaggerating!) in about 20 queue's waiting to get through it was insane! but we made it through and arrived at the hotel somewhere around 3.30am
Today we decided to jump on an hop on hop off city tour bus and had a broad look around Dubai, the place is huge and under major construction every corner has road works or building works happening.
Palm island was beautiful and of course under construction and the shopping malls are huge!
the bus ticket last for 24 hours so we will use it again tomorrow morning and then who knows, I think we will make our way to the markets but leave that until late afternoon or early evening when it is a bit cooler.
Anyway my wine is waiting for me upstairs until we write again
See ya
