Day 46 - Dubai 1


So the staff at the hotel were wonderful and found us a room when we checked in at around 9am when check in is not really until 2pm. Boy did we need it! Two hours sleep is clearly not enough to get by on so, after a fantastic buffet breakfast consumed while they got the room ready, we showered (ahhh) and grabbed another 2 hours sleep.

We then decided it was time to be pampered and so had booked in for a deluxe foot massage…and it was awesome! It was a very luxurious & fancy spa treatment – nice enough that we have booked in for a different treatment tomorrow. Hey, our bodies have taken a battering over the last six and a half weeks – they need some serious pampering.
 

The hotel has a shuttle bus that goes into the Dubai Mall so we grabbed a ride to check it out. It was pretty amazing – full size ice rink, aquarium, indoor theme park, massive waterfall, and a spectacular fountain that plays to music…and we saw it all. We walked, we ate, we walked, and then we caught a taxi back to the hotel. All this with the aim to stay awake until at least 9pm – mission accomplished.
