Well we arrived in Dubai safely after a rather sad goodbye all round at the airport! But we where extremely excited about what the next 7 months would behold! So with our super nerdy backpacks and trainies we set out to see the world!!
7 hours later our lovely emirates flight landed us in Dubai, we were in the sweltering 30 degree heat at 7 in the morning! Even the airport was beautiful so clean and shiny, to give you an idea of how big it was it took us 15 minutes on a bus to get from the plane to the actual building! Getting a taxi to the hotel included a few hairy moments, the drivers love to drive fast, rediculously close, and don't indicate! Me and Hayley decided I definatley wouldn't be able to drive over there. The next 2 days consisted mainly of food, food, and more food, and of course some sight seeing!
On day 1 we had a while to wait around to check in so went to the biggest shopping mall in the world, why not?! We depressed ourselves doing a lot of window shopping and dreamt alot about what we would buy
if we won the lottery! The shops really where gorgeous! But as I mentioned food was a big feature it was cheap and plentiful which always pleases us so we eat all our meals in the mall that day!! lol When we went back to the hotel we had to wait around to check in after we huffed and puffed about it abit the receptionist upgraded us to the executive suite which was amazing!!! We had a living room, kingsize bed, 2 TV's, and 2 bathrooms we thought we'd made it! Later that night (when it had cooled down.. to 30 degrees!!) we went to see the Burj the worlds tallest building in all its glory, and the fountains surrounding it. It was beautiful all lit up at night! We had to get back in the mall after a while though and get blasted by the aircon as it was just too hot!
The next day we got up and got the free bus to the beach which was absolutely gorgeous! The sand was white and the sea almost as blue as the sky, and I'm not messing when I say the sea was literally as hot as a
hot bath!! We had to get the bus back from the beach at half 12 because it was just too hot to stay there in the afternoon in the 40 degree heat! After that we just went n chilled at the rooftop pool for abit, making the most of this luxury, as it was something we would not be seeing a lot of for a while!
We had to say goodbye to Dubai the next morning and get on our testing 14 hour flight to Australia, but we loved our time there everything was new new new, luxurious, and over the top, and suprisingly everywhere smelt lovely and wasn't as expensive as we thought! Next stop Brisbane!
