Managed some more sleep over the Bay of Bengal before catching sight of some scattered lights coming up from India. Listened to a few comedy shows for a while before breakfast over the Arabian Sea...

Saw lots more lights along the edge if the Persian Gulf approaching Dubai with the first glow of dawn appearing...

Have a few hours to wait at Dubai. Having a coffee and a muffin. Can't seem to connect to any WiFi here. (did eventually). Airport is chaotic. Brisbane last night was Sleepy Hollow in comparison....

Had to board a shuttle bus for transport out to the next aircraft. Then we had to climb the back stairs which seems a bit primitive for Dubai. There is another terminal building under construction...it seems they need it. Boarding has been a rabble as there was no sorting of passengers beforehand! We're on another Boeing 777-300 and still at the back right hand side. Plane seems to be an older model... configuration is a bit different. Rego is A6-EMO.
