I\u2019m back in Dubai after quite the break. It\u2019s hot hot hot here. Feels like you\u2019re in a microwave oven once you walk out the door. The locals tell me I\u2019m being dramatic, I think that they are just brainwashed into thinking it\u2019s normal (or as some of them say, quite clement!!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the breakfast here is legendary and pretty healthy. It\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
