A quick stop off in Dubai 14 hours down from 38 hours in total with travel and waiting times! It was a sad goodbye to Amy as she left 15 minutes earlier to Heathrow and I was destined for Gatwick. What an amazing travel buddy I was lucky to have. Although it wasn't as planned we began together and finished together while being able to collect and share some incredible experiences!
