Arrived in Dubai

My first update from Dubai

Plane was delayed in Glasgow, so have had to go straight to next plane so didn?t have to spend much time to spend in the airport. That?s one 7 hour flight done and just the other 13 hour flight to go.

As airports go, this one was pretty amazing, it was like a big glass roofed sculpture. Its easy to tell that there is plenty money in Dubai as the duty free had the biggest jewellers I have ever seen, there was Rolex clocks everywhere (even outside the poo poo places) and it was all marble and glass and chrome and arty. They even had an Armani shop and a Spa resort, neither of which I got to visit.

Emirates airline is excellent, you got hot face towels, touch screen screens for entertaintment, menus and real cutlery for a change, I have refrained from jabbing it into small child sitting on the next isle who was doing my nut in. Service was amazing but if I had the money, business class would be the way to travel rather in the cheap seats below deck, they had little personal booths with screens bigger than my PC monitor and what can only be described as reclining bed chairs. Snobby gits (but like the murphies)
