I’m back in Dubai after quite the break. It’s hot hot hot here. Feels like you’re in a microwave oven once you walk out the door. The locals tell me I’m being dramatic, I think that they are just brainwashed into thinking it’s normal (or as some of them say, quite clement!!)

I flew Emirates this time and the service from start to finish was superb. They even picked me up from reading and collected me from the airport in Dubai to my hotel. Now that’s service. AND there was a bar on the plane. They call it the lounge.

it was quite the spot. Live TV too as they have starlink on all of their planes.

stayed at the Address hotel on Creek Harbour. The food is amazing and the bedroom very luxurious. Breakfast outdoors overlooking the creek across from downtown. Burj Kalifa in the background. What a life!

the breakfast here is legendary and pretty healthy. It’s all about stuffed figs, pulse based salads, fresh fruits, pastries (okay maybe not the healthiest) and cut meats. They do offer omelette but who travels to the Middle East and eats an omelette (apart from the British).
