Dallying in Dubai

Landed in Dubai for an 18hr stopover.

Temperature sitting at 41°C so happy to get to the hotel.

It was definitely not the weather for a hop on hop off bus tour, so after freshening up I went to check out the Dubai Mall.

This is truly shopping on steroids - I lasted precisely 50 minutes before needing to escape this retail nightmare.

I did get to view some interesting art installations as well as the towering Burj Khalifa -with 160 floors dominating all the other skyscrapers.

Back at the Marriott I passed a much more pleasant 2 hours in the swimming pool.Läs mer
