We commenced our holidays with Star Wars: The Last Jedi on Friday night. Geo wasn't satisfied, but I didn' think it was that bad. It had it' moments (Good and bad).
On Saturday we set off to the airport, and a stressful check in and border control later we were on our flight to Abu Dhabi. Thankfully we were able to check in early and had seats next to each other. Geo mostly watched a Korean show on Netflix while I watched a movie called "What happened to Monday?" It's a new idea I haven't seen developed before which made the movie quite interesting, especially as a in flight entertainment it was perfect. Our Stewardess was painfully slow especially with our hunger increasing. When we finally received the food it was amazing, especially the blueberry almond cheesecake dessert ("better than Sainsbury's" according to Geo).
So 7 hours later - includiny 3 hours of broken and uncomfortable sleep - we arrived in Abu Dhabi. Determined to try our best but with not much hope we dashed for the exit and at a speedy pace walked to border control. We booked a free Etihad shuttle to Dubai however only had 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to it. To our surprise everything went so smoothly that we made it to the station nearly 40 minutes before our bus!!
It was time to take a breath of the surprisingly cool Abu Dhabi air and enjoy the sunrise:
Another 2 hours later we arrived in Dubai, checked in to our hotel and set off to Madina Souq a beatiful market with a great view of the Burj Al Arab. Once again we (mostly I) suffered from hunger as we didn't have breakfast and all the restaurants that would serve lunch were still closed.
Now we are off to our desert tour!
