Howdy y'all, so I'm now at Dubai International Airport, eagerly awaiting my third and final flight which will take me to Bahrain. This one should be fairly easy, it's only 1 hour. My Sydney to Dubai flight however, was a gruelling 14 hours long. To my great delight, I was seated next to an adorable kid, maybe 9 or 10 years old, with a thick Scottish accent (I think). The first thing I remember her saying, somewhat exasperated was "I can't believe they don't provide you with a hairbrush!" Early on in the flight she accidentally fell asleep on me so that was kind of a great ice breaker I suppose. All the while, her father (I assume?) was trying to wake her up and saying, you can't lie on the lady. I assured him that I really didn't mind. Towards the end of the flight I was helping her with Four Pics One Word on her iPad. On my other side, I was seated next to a weedy middle aged man who someone assumed was my father. When we eventually began a conversation I discovered that he was a New Zealander too, and he studied at Victoria University.
What else happened? Oh yeah, the tofu breakfast. Unexpected, but satisfactory. Tasted like it sounds. The dude I was sitting next to had the closest aisle seat, and unfortunately, he was asleep for about 3/4 of the flight (or so it would seem). This proved to be horrific when I needed to get up out of my seat for the toilet. I somehow managed to climb over his legs without disturbing him, on three separate occasions.
Apologies for the painfully boring updates so far. Excitement to come, I promise.
Boarding now for Bahrain, gotta run!
This one didn't get a separate email link so I only just saw it - really enjoying the updates - thanks abs
