It was time to say goodbye to Dubai. It would have been nice to stay longer but for a backpackers budget Dubai is a little hard on the pockets. The only thing that works in our favours is the exchange rate.
Nothing much happened this morning except for last minute packing. We got picked up by our driver in a BMW 7 series.
As we put our bags in airport security the xray operators were again looking at everything else except the screen. The airport is quite nice but still they should be keeping the passengers safe! But in saying that Dubai seems to be a very safe and inviting country.
We arrived in Paris at 7:30pm. The flight was pretty empty so it was great to be able to spread out and stretch our legs. Paris was cold when we hopped off the plane but not as cold as we first imagined. After collectin the bags it was time to start the real backpacking. Hege is right, the real backpacking had not begun until now. It was time to strap up and find our hostel.
Finding the hostel was not a problem as Asher had been here before. We were staying at the Young and Happy which is situated in the Latin Quarter of Paris. It is on a very nice street with a cobblestone road. There is a lot of character at this hostel and this street. Along the street are kebab shops and crepe shops which make them fresh.
Our only hazard during the night was an irrate French Railway operator who didn't want to help us at all. She was rude, loud and ugly.
Other than that Paris is beautiful. Can't wait to see the rest.
