2nd leg

Glitz, glamour, lots of everything and ten dollar cups of coffee, we arrive after at Dubai airport after our 14hr flight. Transiting through Dubai airport is an eye opener - it is an airport on steroids. After lifts, escalators and stairs we find our departure gate boarding an Airbus 380-800 to Paris. The Airbus 380 is the world’s largest passenger airliner, it has two full length decks with wide body dimensions - it certainly felt spacious. The highlight of the flight was the landing which was smoooooth, I was impressed. After landing, time started to slowdown, and I realised how tired I was: it was a long trip getting out of the plane, out of the airport, onto the train and then the metro, but finally we made it out into the streets of Paris. We are here and it is lovely.
