First day in Dubai

After leaving Tullamarine Airport on Friday evening, we arrived in Dubai at 6am on the Saturday morning after a 14 hour flight to a very mild 28 degrees......at 6am!!!!! Being that early we got through customs, picked up our bags, and were in a cab on the way to the hotel in a pretty short time.

We were in our hotel room at the Royal Ascot and fast asleep by just after 7am. Knowing that we had to reset our body clocks we set the alarm for midday.

So we were awake at midday and exploring the local streets by 1pm.......now it was about 42 degrees......back in the room by 1:05pm.......damn it's hot, thank goodness for air conditioning.

After organising the next days schedule of tours, we wandered down the road again to the nearest restaurant, the Red Onion.....it turned out to be Indian, and a very good one at that. We got an early night....both fast asleep by 9pm.
