After 30 hours of travel and stopovers in Dubai airport it was exciting to see our beds!
The stopover in Dubai was interesting. The airport was amazing.When we arrived many hundreds of thousands of Muslims were starting their fast during Ramadan (no food or drink during daylight hours). We luckerly stumbled across a free buffet for all Emirates flyers in the terminal at Dubai.
This made the 4 hour layoff very comfortable.
When arriving to our hotel in Rome we were looking for a hot shower and somewhere to sleep. However, this is Italy and after waiting in the parking lot/lobby of out hotel for over an hour we finally got into our rooms. Pretty basic, but comfortable.
The highlight of the trip was flying with Emirates in the new A380 (this is a brilliant piece of modern technology) and their was plenty of room in Economy class.
Looking foreward to exploring Rome tomorrow!
