    Starting our journey to Bangkok

    The start of a new adventure and a ‘new’ country for us visit!  I woke up with nervous excitement but having everything packed and ready was able to enjoy a leisurely breakfast at home before setting off.

    Dubai to Bangkok with Emirates

    Our transit time in Dubai airport was 2 hours 15 minutes and we needed to take the Sky Train to Concourse B for our connecting flight.  I wasn’t really hungry but we sat down in a cafe for a tasty snack and a drink to keep us awake as well as passing a little time. …

    Our final morning in Bangkok but plenty of time to enjoy one last omelette cooked to perfection from the hotel’s egg station.  After checking out of the Holiday Inn Silom we returned to Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport via the BTS Sky Train, changing at Phaya Thai for the Airport Express.  Thankfully, it was much quieter than…

    Manchester to Hong Kong with Emirates

    A seven night holiday to Hong Kong, flying from Manchester via Dubai.

  • Repulse Bay, Hong Kong

    Stanley and the Star Ferry, Hong Kong

    After breakfast it was time to pack.  Even though we had bought several bags of clothes, a remote controlled helicopter and various other bits and pieces, it wasn’t too difficult as Emirates provide a generous 30kg baggage allowance and we had plenty of room in our large suitcases. We checked out of the Ibis Hotel, North Point…

    A day in Dubai

    After a smooth flight, we arrived in Dubai at 5.00 am local time.  Our luggage had been checked through to Manchester, and as we had a lengthy time between flights we planned a quick sightseeing tour of the city. We cleared immigration quickly and had free visas stamped into our passports.  Dubai metro is connected…
