August 24th

Sunrise over Arabian SeaThe more astute among you will notice there was only an abridged version of August 23rd - this is because of our rather long (and slightly extended) return journey home. We arrived home at 8.30pm UK time after travelling for 37.5 hours!!! Our first plane developed an electrical fault on the runway which took two hours to sort out but the pilot made up time so we were only one hour behind schedule on arrival at Dubai. However, that plane had a technical fault resulting in two more hours delay, and a further 15 minutes after 9 passengers went missing and their baggage had to be off-loaded. Thankfully we had allowed enough transit time before our train home so no more problems there and we arrived home safely - Praise God!

We have now been awake (on and off) for about 48 hours - so are suffering a little from exhaustion. We'll add a final entry to this blog once we are feeling slightly more awake!
