TRAVEL DIARY - ABU DHABI : Day 1

Hey yall! My European adventure has officially begun! Ahhhh. It was most definitely a long day of domestic flights in Australia, then one big 15hr flight to Abu Dhabi (which is where we are now).

We landed at 6am, Abu Dhabi time, and got picked up and taken straight to our hotel. It was super daunting at first because everyone we had spoke to so far didn't speak a word of English. We got to where we are staying for the next 2 nights and checked in. The lovely guys who served us upgraded us to a premium suite so we could get settled sooner! The customer service has been amazing so far!

We got up to our room, chucked everything down and let out the biggest sigh of relief. We finally made it! And we're still alive! After a 15hr flight, you can probably imagine how gross we felt and probably were! We jumped straight in the shower (not together obviously) and freshened up. 

After our quick power nap, we decided to head off to Ferrari world for the day. That was also super stressful because our cab driver didn't speak English and he quite literally had no idea where he was going, which in the end only cost us more money for our cab fair. By the time we got to Ferrari world (at like 11:30), we were so exhausted and hot. It was a solid 43 degrees Celsius! We got straight in, took some photos and had the most delicious pizza at this quaint little Italian themed restaurant. 


After our pizza we felt ready to go and started to cry ally do stuff! We went on this roller coaster twice and boy oh boy, did I feel extremely dizzy after getting off! Steph (my friend who I'm traveling with) tried to convince me to go on another roller coaster which also happened to be the worlds fastest roller coaster. She managed to get me in line and then I saw how high and steep it was and I said noooo thank you! Being the great friend I am, I left and she went on it alone. Sorry steph! However, she said it was amazing, so it was fine!

We then just wandered around and took photos of the lush ferraris for the rest of the arvo. 



I am now currently sitting in my bed, typing this up on my phone and about to read my book. I cannot wait to be able to sleep in a bed and not in an uncomfortable plane seat!

SIDE NOTE:
Because I wore my most awesome trixin hat all day, I decided to take a photo and post it on Instagram tagging all the trixin crew. It most certainly made my night to see that not only did Bre & Derek Miller liked it, but Derek also decided to like some of my older photos that had nothing to do with him or trixin! That's right ladies and gents, Derek insta stalked me. Hehe
