Dubai

Once we checked in we were so very glad to be in the air conditioned comfort of our room!

However we decided to head out for a few ciders to celebrate the last day of our trip!

We went to an Irish pub at the Le Meridian resort next door and ended up eating there also enjoying a yummy butter chicken curry!

So tired now though and looking forward to a big snooze!!

Time to go......

We got up early and had breakfast at the hotel. I was sneaky and took some glad bags along and made sandwiches to take on the plane - lol!

We caught the airport bus, an absolute steal at about 80 cents for the ride! It left from around the corner from our hotel and we arrived at the airport within 20 minutes!!

Once at the airport we checked in and found out our bags would go straight through to Melbourne so we had to separate some stuff out and then just took carry on with our clothes for Dubai and on the flight home to Melbourne.

We departed on time and even had a spare seat next to us, lets hope that works out for the Melbourne leg!!

We arrived into Dubai around 3pm and by the time we cleared customs it was around 3:30pm.

We were going to catch a taxi but soon learnt that the taxi drivers did not want to take us as it was not a far enough trip from the airport, they told us their credit card machines were not working. They were also trying to force us to use the more expensive black taxis as the cheaper taxis did not want our fare!

So being stubborn we decided to walk!

Yes, it was 38 degrees and hot as all f**k but the metro station was not that far away so off we went sweating bullets!

We ended up arriving at the hotel around 4:45, it took us a decent amount of time but we felt like we had won the taxi battle!!

Last evening

We went back to the local Armenian restaurant we ate at the first night.

The waiter gave us extra wine and some free dolma!! It was delicious!!!

Great way to end the trip :-)

Yerevan .... final day

It was our last day in Yerevan, we really admittedly did not do much but I've come to the realisation that in cities that feel a bit like home you just don't feel like being touristy.

We were going to go to a museum but it was really difficult to get to! So, we took a bit of a cruise about, it's such a lovely city and we just enjoyed the vibe of the place!!

Ooh and we ate burger, we really very rarely eat burgers but when we are on holidays, we do enjoy a burger!!

Nearly the end

As the trip draws to a close we are munching on as much of our favorite food as possible.

Tonight we enjoyed some more delicious Kinkhalis!!

Gerghard cathedral

Next up we visited Gerghard cathedral.

It was quite lovely and we were treated to a beautiful choir inside the church performing a beautiful song!

Yerevan day trip

On Monday we took a day trip to Garni temple Gerghard cathedral.

Garni temple was first up, it's like a mini acropolis.
