The tortuous part of the flying is behind us. The first 13 hours of the trip were as pain free as is possible. We did
get a bonus in that we must have had a tail wind and cut the travel time by an
hour. … the God’s were with us.
The other blessing was the Ali’ Abadi transit lounge.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the main transit lounges. This was a little
oasis, where we were able to shower, eat reasonable food, including beautiful
fresh dates and other fresh fruit, honey poached apricots and dates (yum), and
a real flat white coffee.
The flight to Dublin was easy after the first leg. Dublin airport was all very new but it still took about 2 hours to get through immigration and collect the hire car. Starting to get used to the Irish accents and the adjective ‘fecking’ used regularly and with gusto!
Surprised that it is about 20 degrees with the occasional bit of gentle Irish rain.
