Well we are off and left Perth at 6.00am this morning to fly to Dubai to start a 3 month journey through Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Norway and Holland (phew! That sounds toooo much).
Arrived in Dubai at around 1.30pm and were immediately hit by the crowds of people at the airport trying to get thru Passport control (took nearly an hour for us to get thru)
Anyway the hotel is fabulous, very friendly and relaxed and we have a great view over Dubai Creek to all the buildings on the other side (including the tallest building in the world). But it is damned hot!! Over 40C each day and not much less at night.
Everyone is very friendly, courteous and helpful. Went for a walk along the Creek and watched the sun go down behind the Grand Mosque, what with all the dust in the air, the sunset is magnificent because the air diffuses the colour and it is like looking thru a filter, great!
It is very strange because the people you see out in the street are mostly men (very few women in public)

Wow, what an incredible view from your hotel room - certainly doing this trip in style! It's cool with the water, then the older buildings, then the fantastic skyline.
