Dubai and Eastern Europe

This past winter we went to Europe and had a stopover in Dubai. Word of Caution: If flying Emirates and you have a stopover don't expect to have a seat on the next flight!!! What you say?? Yeah I know, I thought if you had booked and paid for a flight the seat was yours. Turns out they over book all their flights, so we got to the airport 2hrs before only to be told that the plane was full!!! After lots of talking and searching the guy managed to get us on a flight to Prague (we were going to Rome), but we only had 15 mins to make it to the gate...oh this is where the fun begins! Again I was reminded that whilst uggs are the most comfortable thing to wear on long plane flights, they are not quite your best of option for running through airports in! Haha, We did make our flight though phew!

Whilst in here we did the Dune safari tour including dinner in the desert. We got henna tatoos. Us being dorks taking a photo of us in the lift at the 7 star resort (the only way you could see the hotel was to make a booking, the cheapest thing was afteroon tea - so $120 afternoon tea we had!). Us staying at the Atlantis hotel, ordering breakfast.... you know you are somewhere fancy when the cheapest meal is room service haha

Dubai was fantastic! I call it the "Rich Man's Thailand", as it has the fancy hotels, shopping and attractions... but at a MUCH higher price than Thailand/ Bali/ Vietnam etc.

After this I then went off to travel Scandanavia whilst my friends went to Croatia. Denmark and Sweden were both really nice. Here I am taking a cruise to visit Hamlet's House and whilst others go to Prague for the castles.... I go for the mirror maze!! ;) (and the castles!!)

On the way home I had a stopover in Melbourne and went Air walking with the sharks... this was Amazing!! I thought I would have been more nervous, but when you in the water there is too much to look at to be freaked out!
