hey!!
well well well..what a busy kind of day!. the start was super early, and it must of been about -10 degrees, with blizzards. But we still made it to the airport in time, woohoo! there wasnt too much of a delay which was good too!
The plane was really cool because they have cameras on the front and underneath of the plane, so you can look at where you are flying! so i watched that for take off.. then slept for a bit..then woke up and watched some films and stuff! and before i knew it ..we were in dubai!
The first thing that hit me was the heat..it was 21 degrees when we landed..so i was quite hot because i was still wrapped in my blizzard clothes. its also really clean here, and really pretty! but ill be able to see it properly in daylight tommorow!
The XVA (where were staying for the night) is sooo nice! its really peaceful and comfy and everyone is welcoming! so now us girls can just relax while the boys have to sleep on the dhow mwahahaha!!
anyway must dash! byeeeeeeee x :D P.S the cans are REALLY cool! (lucy)
