I have been very quiet on here
for the last couple of years, the inspiration left me partly because I god
fixed into the same close loop of destinations and not a lot was standing out
to me and partly because covid stopped the world. Enough has been written about
covid and how it affected the world and I cant add anything that has not
already been said much more eloquently by others.
This post is about my first long
haul trip since 18 months ago, I have made a few European trips and what I have
found is that every country is in roughly the same position and domestically
fairly relaxed. There is, however, still a fear that travellers will bring the
disease across borders and there is a reasonably tight regime of paperwork and
testing in place at all borders. What this means is that I am in fact more
relaxed around other travellers as I know they have been tested whereas I am much
more cautious about locals who don’t have the same restrictions.
Traveling outside of Europe heightened
all my senses, the flight was just like a normal flight apart from the masks we
arrived in the evening just after dark in Dubai and it was great to hear the noises
of the aircraft as the flaps came down and see all the different nationalities
as we walked through the terminal, the drive to the hotel will all the lights
of the city … its great to be back.
there is a bot of me that does like a luxury hotel as well .... and they do those very well in Dubai.
