We arrived in Dubai at 2am after a 7 hour flight and waited in line at customs and immigration for over an hour before collecting our baggage and heading outside into the 37 degree heat. Dubai had just celebrated its hottest day of the year - a stinking 48 degrees. We met our driver who loaded our bags into the van and took us to the Winchester Hotel which was to be home for the next couple of weeks. We checked in as the porter loaded our bags onto trolleys and took us up to Room 203. We were disappointed to read the letter that as of April 2006 the pool was out of order due to renovations - just our luck. We dumped our bags in the foyer of the apartment, had a look around the 1 bedroom - 2 bathroom apartment, and Kathryn spontaneously burst into tears demanding the first flight home to Australia. Unfortunately that was not possible and things looked a lot better the next morning after a couple of hours of decent sleep (and some cuddles from Cameron).
