What can one say about Dubai? It looks like the place where they build something because they can. It also seems that every imbecile rich person in the world has backed them. World´s largest tower, a new metro system straight out of Gotham, over the top expensive hotels not to mention they built some artificial islands off the coast in the shape of a palm tree with 8million dollar 2 bedroom apartments. On the way out we saw another one being built. It was certainly an intersting short stay.
As for our flights, I think getting the stop over was quite handy as now in Vienna, I don't feel Jet lagged. It was nasty getting up at 3 though in Sydney. Full thanks to Matt for being crazy enough to drive us.
Here are my in flight movie reviews
Transformers: 2, revenge of the fallen 1 star. Absolute rubbish.
Bullit: 3 and a half stars. Would have been two and a half stars (average) except it a had Steve McQueen and an awesome car chase scene.
Ice Age 3: 2 and a half stars, funny yet lost marks for the absurd situation of having a tropical sub terranian land of dinosaurs beneath an Ice shealth inhabbited by mamoths and sloths.
The Caste: 3 stars. Still pretty funny though there were a few international changes to the version we saw.
Any way, we are now in Vienna where we swapped snow for sand. It's currently 2 degrees and we are about to hop on the train to Maribor in Slovenia. For those who may think Vienna deserves more then catching a couple of S bahn trains and eating Kebabs at the bahnhoff, don't worry, we spend 3 days here on the way back.
Talk to you soon from Maribor
