Day 2: Mon 2 Sep – Dubai to Lyon

A rather lengthy stopover (7 hours) was taken up by wandering, window shopping at the endless duty-free shops, eating, planning the tour, catching up and more wandering.

Wow did I speak too soon regarding the children; the babies on this flight had a good old scream from time to time from the time they boarded till getting off in Lyon. The little cherubs were all around me, even one little lovely sitting directly behind, a really good position to kick the living daylights out of the back of my seat each time he became restless. I fantasied how I was going to fit the little darling down the plane’s rather powerful and noisy flush toilet. In the meantime, poor Bob had to endure a complimentary upgrade to Business Class, for the whole leg. The things that this bloke does for the team are just amazing; how does he cope?

We all eventually arrived safely in Lyon without one cherub being harmed in the making of this blog. Arrived on time and by 2030h we had collected our bikes and luggage and secured the only Maxi-cab in the taxi queue. He took some time to get his nav equipment to recognise the B&B but he got there; €95 later. Worth every cent considering we were in the B&B in quick time.


As the rooms weren’t ready (they had the wrong date of arrival down) we spent about an hour putting the bikes back together. As soon as the room was ready, I crashed. We’ll explore Lyon tomorrow.

Arrived home about 48 hours after checking out of the hotel Lyon, a little bit trashed from the lack of sleep and sore from sitting in cramp...
