Hello, about time mark and I did a blog about our trip. We decided to start from the beginning.
We left gatwick on 28th Feb for dubai and the first part of our RTW trip. After a six hour flight we landed in Dubai's very swanky airport. It was 6 in the morning but we could already feel the temperature heating up. Reached 35 degrees that day so got very hot. We had 27 hours of dubai and that was probably enough for us. We stayed in an area far away from the main resorts so didn't get to see many of the amazing buildings up close. There was also alot of smog which blurred the skyline too. Dubai is very strange, not much to look at from the streets. There aren't many people around either. Building works everywhere! But we discovered a huge mall 10 mins from our hotel which was immense and packed with people. Shopping seemed to be the only thing to do! It felt like we could have been in England too as we saw a M&S, H&M and of course Macdonalds. Our time was short however and soon we were on our way back to the airport and preparing for our 22 Hour flight to Auckland, New Zealand.
