After a teary farewell to Caroline & Joe (@ 6am mind you) we made our way to Heathrow sort of dreading the 7 + hour flight ahead.
We needn't have worried as we scored exit row seats on a brand new 380. Amazing plane and we were in the front row of our cabin (First off). Emirates were fantastic, the service exceptional, the food top notch and a drink whenever we wanted it. (I gave the vodka a bit of a nudge).
We landed in Dubai on schedule and were met by our driver who drove us to the brilliant hotel we are staying at,explaining things as we drove along this stunning city.
We ventured out into the Mall Of The Emirates, to grab a quick bite to eat, and then back to the hotel for a good nights sleep. That's where it went all wrong. Both Chris & I had coughing fits during the night and kept each other awake. I crawled out of bed at about 10am but Chris was still not well and slept in until almost noon. I'm feeling a lot better today but Chris is still a bit under the weather. (Talking of which it's about 37 degrees here at the moment).
Anyway, a few pics of the hotel room are below and a couple of pics of the snowfields that are inside the Mall Of the Emirates. It's real snow and you can actually ski there or stay in the snow chalets!
looks fantastic, tried to skype as it showed Chris was on line but no luck, hope you got your debit card sorted out xxxxx
