Melbourne to Paris- Euro Disney

Well we’ve arrived safely in Paris after a 13 hour flight from Melbourne to Dubai, a 2 hour wait in Dubai, a 7 hour flight from Dubai to Paris, a 1.5 hour wait in Paris and then a 1 hour bus ride to our hotel … and then Rhona broke a Christmas decoration at reception J. Rhona managed to get some sleep on the first leg of the trip but I haven’t slept for about 36 hours (so I’ll keep this short J ).

Our flights seemed to pass quicker than I thought with lots of distractions, we watched a few movies, I watched a few TV episodes I had downloaded to my laptop (all 6 Michael!) whilst Rhona slept (don’t get me started about the guy sitting in front of us on the first leg, he had his chair back as far as it could go for all of the flight! Except when the hostess asked him to put it forward for take off and landing and serving our meals). We had a dinner, a breakfast, another breakfast, and then a lunch J. During our stop over in Dubai we stumbled upon a raffle for a black Lamborghini (only 2000 tickets at US$140, I was tempted!) and we did the real touristy thing and got some photos J

From Dubai to Paris we had a great view of the mountains below. We took a few photos, it was really amazing.
We’re staying at the Dream Castle hotel at Disneyland resort in Paris, from what we’ve seen of the hotel so far (not much) it looks amazing, the entire hotel has a King Arthur type theme to it, but DOESN’T look corny as I thought it might. Tomorrow we’re up early for a buffet breakfast and then off to Disneyland to meet Steven, Pauline and Amy ( In the photo below with Rhona)

We are now off to Andrew, Delphines and Fleurs house in Nice....
