Du Bye Bye

---

Well after another lovely business class flight (this time on Emirates) we have finally arrived in Dubai! Our first impressions were a little weird. It was actually the coolest place that we have been over the last week. As in the lowest temperature. And this is meant to be Dubai! The insanely hot place.

We arrived at approx 2pm and were taken to the little hell hole that was to be our home for the next 3 weeks. The Golden Sands No 5. Jeremy's idea of heaven. Our 'suite' was approx the size of the lounge in my house and that managed to contain the lounge, dining table, kitchen, bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen was the tiniest thing I have ever seen (and was also the laundry). It was smaller than one in a caravan.

On our first full day we decided to take a tour of the city (not a blue rinse tour this time). So we hopped on the Dubai Big Bus and headed for the open road. The tour was amazing and showed us all of the major parts of the city. The beach, Burj Al Arab, the marina, Deira etc

Then it was time for me to start work. So on day 2 in Dubai I got up and traipsed off to join the hallowed halls of Turner and Townsend, project managers extrodianaire for Aqua Dunya ( soon to be the biggest water theme park in the UAE - and knowing Dubai probably the world).
