Dubai airport

And thank goodness we're no longer in Heathrow airport...never been in such a manic airport in my life. Queues all down the M25 delayed our arrival, queues to check-in and you have never seen a queue like it for the security bit - we were practically back down the M25 to get to the back of that one...and dodging scary looking police with guns the size of...er...the queue down the M25! Well, we made it by some random miracle, and are now in Dubai airport where things are a lot calmer and I haven't yet seen a single queue! Not a lot of sleep to be had so far...but we have high hopes for Nairobi - by about 10pm after we have managed to make intelligent and inspiring conversation with a friend of a friend of a friend (that's you, Ian) who is coming to take us out for food (at the moment we are having trouble holding any kind of conversation!)
Oh, and the other really exciting thing I must tell you is that the aeroplane had a camera on the front and the bottom so we had views of outside!!! Except it was mostly dark... Oh, and the toilets in Dubai airport flush themselves when you stand up - which was also quite exciting! Well, I will bore you no longer with the excitement of toilets and instead go and find gate 26 for our ongoing flight. Currently four hours ahead of you...but going back a couple on the way to Nairobi - so this neverending day really has had far more hours than is strictly correct!
