We have arrived!!

We have arrived safe and sound! Piper was an angel and slept for 10 hours on the plane, in fact she was asleep straight after take-off and I wasn't far behind.

After the horrific Melbourne weather that farewelled us on Thursday it was somewhat of a shock to the system to be greeted in Dubai by 37 degrees at 5am in the morning. Overnight lows at the moment are low 30's with mid 40's during the day.

We are slowly finding our feet. We all woke yesterday morning at 4am and couldn't get back to sleep so we decided to beat the heat and take a nice long walk around the Burj Kahlifa and Old Town at 5am to start our day.
Of course Piper was not going to let her first day pass without a big swim in the pool. She causes somewhat of a scene as she is so confident in the water she happily swims around the pool with her life vest on without holding on to one of us. Then when she thinks she is losing the attention of the crowd she clambers onto the edge of the pool to loudly sing Humpty Dumpty and jump in the pool!

Thank you again to everybody for your farewell wishes and apologies to those we did not get to see in person to say goodbye xo
