Free internet in Istanbul so I continue. Couldn't easily get internet in Dubai so gave it a miss.
Singapore - Dubai: we both slept (Tina more than me). Arrived in Riveria Hotel, Dubai 3.55AM (!!!) local time. Short taxi trip from airport to hotel. It is now 29 hours since we got up in Palmy. Nice hotel - modern facilities with old style decor. It is an executive room - spacious, separate wardrobe, balcony with lovely view of the Dubai Creek (don't be put off by the work creek - it is a major waterway). Recommended.
On the way over Tina has been thinking and she realises we have made a mistake in our hotel booking. The plan was this night in our hotel, check out, spend our night in the desert and check back in but what do we do withourselves and our gear in all the gaps? The room is free so we pay for the extra night. This turns out to be a great decision for a number of reasons in what is coming over the next day.
Priority #1 is a shower after 29 hours. Being a gentleman I let Tina go first. After 15 minutes I gently inquire if everything is ok. She has had nightmare with the shower hoe/nozzle and EVERYTHING is wet - my fresh towel, the wall, the ceiling (THE CEILING!!!!) ..... How can you run a school when you can't control a shower???
Lights out 4.54am. Lights back on 5.17am - can't sleep. Tina reads laundry instructions - she is now happy and we fall aslep before 5.30am.
