Desert

We are at the airport waiting for our flight to Sydney.

Yesterday we went in a 4x4 dune bashing a camel ride watched a sunset that didn't exist and watched a Russian booby (belly) dancer.

Plus liz got a henna tattoo on her arm

Shopping

Did a bit of shopping 1x coke and 2x water costs less than 96p!!!

we are not sure if we are going to the desert might be too expensive

3hr Bus Tour

Hi Chaps

We have just completed a 3 hour open top bus tour of Dubai and We encountered at least 9 car crashes in that time!!!

We would upload photos but Flickr is BANNED in this country we have just found out(The whole site is blocked by government web filter)

Arrived Dubai

Safe and sound

Both very tired did not sleep at all on plane just checked into room at 11:20 instead of 2pm so will now get some sleep and hopefully wake up again early enough to go out somewhere.

Mark got bagged searched at airport and was only given his passport back when there was no problems!!! (bit scary but glad we didn't take anything dodgy except mark :-)

At the airport

Well we are now at the airport eating :-)

Both feeling a little weird this time and not too sure what's going to happen but we will have fun either way

Found out our flight is delayed by 30mins but that is good means not waiting around as much at the hotel.

oh yeah Liz scanned her boarding card and just stood there not realising the green arrow had come up like 3 times, LOL:-)!!

Volcanic Ash Cloud

Well we got 9 days till we leave for Dubai and New Zealand so we are hoping that the volcanic ash cloud dissipates before the 27th and our flight is not affected.
