Well the 16 hours 30 some minute flight went better than expected. Both of us got at least 7 hours sleep and as a consequence weren't feeling too bad when we got into Dubai. There was time for a quick shower at Dubai then it was onto the next leg - 6 hours something to Manchester. During this leg Mark's glasses decided to shed a lens which promptly went down the side of his seat much to the concern of the flight attendant. Mark then set about taking apart his seat to retrieve the lens. Once recovered he put it back together again. I meanwhile managed to take some photo's out of the window of what I think was Iran. Lots of mountains and snow down there. We landed ahead of time at Manchester and decided it wasn't as cold as we thought it might be. Picked up the rental car - a Citroen which neither of us bonded with and it was off to Wales. The sat nav kept trying to take us strange routes and the controls were a mystery to "himself" as he kept muttering about them. Me thinks he won't be trading in the Ute any time soon. Picked up Mark's Dad in Wales & back to Manchester. Flight to Glasgow on Thursday, overnight stay there and flight to Benbecula in the Hebrides.
