Dubai airport is as massive as we remember. The bar bill would also have been massive but even David drew a line at £9/pint. We had to resort to coffees at only £5 each.
So far the travelling has been fine and the Newcastle-Dubai flight was half empty. Yvonne reporting sore ribs from the number of times David nudged her because the bar trolley was approaching. Not as bad though as the couple in from of us who marched to the galley as soon as the fasten seat belts were off and returned with an armful of Bacardi minatures.
Now on the biggest plane we have ever been on the A380-800 a double decker plane, we are sat on row 64 with at least another 50 rows behind us. The plane has all the mod cons, wifi, mobile phone connectivity, etc but not above India or China so basically our route so limited opportunity to use these features but never mind.
Celebrated Yvonne's birthday on the plane, including a birthday cake which appears to be suffering from jet lag and a candle app which you can blow OUT fantastic.
Sleep deprivation starting to pay its toll, not helped by a Hong Kong businessman in suit snoring next to David. You can't hear the plane engines for him, and he appears to be able to sleep in any position including in David's lap.
