All was well except at the start because eye got massively delayed due to a lady that became sick before we took off. They had to get a doctor, then take the lady off the plane, then locate her luggage then take the luggage off, then restack all the luggage then find a guy to push the plane onto the runway.
Then halfway through the journey we had another medical issue, the lady sitting across from us started to have trouble breathing and she needed an oxygen mask, it was pretty dramatic.
Anyway we got off the plane, stood in queues for an hour then took a train to the baggage reclaim only to find that our luggage had been mistakenly put on a different plane to England so our bags were currently halfway to the UK.
Of course that was pretty annoying. So after that we went in search of a shuttle bus to take us to our hotel. By now it was 2.00 in the morning. We wandered around for 30 before located a guy who would take us there. Now, in Dubai they all drive on the right hand side of the road, with the wheel on the left. I got really confused and worried every time the driver turned because I was scare she would crash the car. We finally arrived at our hotel to find that the room we booked only had two beds. So after negotiating for a while mum managed to get us a trundle bed taken up to our room. We stayed in room 436 and it was a four star hotel so it was pretty good. And guess who got the trundle bed ( which btw rattled, was very small and sunk in the middle whenever someone lay in it) I did! Because I was the last to use the shower, I came out to find that both mum and Gerard had already settled down on a bed. So I spent the night with my feet hanging off the end of the bed ( but I've got to admit, it was much better than sleeping on a plane.)
anyway, I will post more later on
