Fortunately we have made Dubai, arriving about 4:30 local time. Stepped out of the plane onto a bus and got hit by 34 °C. Then a 15-minute bus ride to the terminal.
Fourteen hours is a bloody long time sitting in a very squeezy seat. Must be murder if you’re 20kgs heavier than I am. I’ll let you know on the way home.
We are all pretty sleep deprived (as attested by the air of terseness in the camp…) but looking forward to finishing off the first leg. We leave Dubai at 9:10 local time and get into Rome after lunch.
No pictures, it’s not worth taking any yet, it’s just an airport and a plane.

Glad to hear you haven’t been terrorist fodder so far, let’s hope the trend continues!
