Haven't mentioned thus far just how hot it was - only to be expected of course in Dubai in July - it was at least 40oC every day but at least a very dry heat rather than the humidity we're used to in Queensland.

So we slept like babes the previous night and woke refreshed and ready to explore the delights of Dubai. But first a cook up - …

We stayed for four amazing days in Dubai and loved every minute however it's not a backpacker destination because it's rich, rich, rich. Hummers, Porsche's, palm islands and designer clothes is the typical lifestyle although no backpacker fault the shishas and beaches. On the last night we visited the tallest building in the world, Burj Khalifa and …

Dubai was definitely not on our list, we decided to come only as it was a good stop-over on our way to Kenya. We booked our room at the XVA gallery as it seemed arty, and special. They arranged the pick-up at the airport, which was a great idea, as you cannot reach the hotel by car because it is in the old town. The rooms were like in 1001 nights, …

Dubai is pretty insane, it feels like everywhere you go you are surrounded by stunning sky scrapers in all shapes and …

Leaving Nepal, one of the poorest countries in the world, we were on our way to one of the richest, the United Arab Emirates and more specifically Dubai, 'the Rubbadub' as my cockney friend 'Cockney Barry' would call it, that lovely rhyming simpleton.

It was quite the change, but a very welcome one as this section of the trip was to relax …

Opening Day!!!! Finally the 17th arrived and I am finally done with my last VS opening of 2013!

We had simultaneous openings of Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emerites. I won't go into the amount of crazy antics that had to occur to make that happen. All I can say is that I'm glad I get to finally go to the beach before leaving tomorrow. …
