Hi from Dubai
Two fascinating days exploring on a stopover from Sydney to Rome. A city of contrasts in every way, visually and culturally, epitomised by the architecture where the old meets new, the architects seemingly given free rein. Buildings reach for the sky, jutting forward and upward with asymmetrical planes and angles to create the eclectic skyline.

| Dubai Airport |
The airport with shiny reflective surfaces and large marble tiles covering the spacious area, looked more like a modern upmarket hotel but this impression was soon balanced by a long walk in the wrong direction in 43 degree heat, in the middle of the day in the wrong shoes.

After imagining several oases which turned out to be mirages, we finally found the shopping mecca - Dubai Mall.

Dubai mall holds many mysteries
to be discovered |

| The odd skating rink |
 |
| Swimming pool - Address Hotel |
 |
| Gold Souk - not many places to wear these |
 |
| Decided not to have a ride |
 |
| Hmmmmmmm |
 |
| Far too skinny - where is the muffin roll? |

Clara - I am still alive!
