Waiting in Dubai






Four hours layover in Dubai. Whisked through security when we got off the plane by some quite charming staff - pleasant surprise!  Didn't even have to take out laptop or ipad - yay!

Strolled down through the miles of shiny duty free and lift up to the Emirates First Lounge - one of the perks of Platinum status!  Down to the end of the lounge to the dining room, where we seem to be the only customers. Had a lovely breakfast (must remember to get Jess to cut the crusts off my toast from  now on!) and then basically we've just crashed here in the lounge.

Emirates have been delightfully helpful in trying to organise the limo transfer in Paris that Qantas seemed unable to do. Cross fingers and hope that the car will be there when we get into Charles De Gaulle.

Looking forward to being back in Paris - last time it was so cold, weather looks perfect for Sunday and our trip out to Giverny to Moet's Garden... cannot wait! Tossed up whether to go to Versailles in the morning but I think we might just wander from our hotel through to the Eiffel Tower.
