Landed in Dubai

We just arrived safely in Dubai. Because the plane was full and we had been patiently waiting to go in as last, we got upgraded from Jo'burg to business class, which was splendid! Salmon, champagne, massaging chairs... Never had a flight so pleasant. Venom is in the tail though, and turned out while we were sipping Kirr Royal, our luggage was left behind. Hopefully it will still turn up though.... Now here at the airport in Dubai. Everything sounds like Eurodisney, grand, commercial and expensive. No Couchsurfer to host us, but a couple of contacts of people that can take us around, which'll be nice to try and get out of the touristy circuit. Anyway, it won't be for very long, since 4 nights from now, we're off again, to freezing Paris. Hope we'll have our warm sweaters by then ;-)

We'll probably stay at the Dubai Youth Hostel in Al Qusais. Thomas bought a SIM card, so should you need to reach us: +971 502898375.
