BLOG: City trip to Dubai!

March

Last week I made an amazing city trip to Dubai! After I came fourth in the Freestyle at the National Championships and was still a bit sad, the chairman of the NRPS, the studbook that approved Wup some years ago, offered to take me to Dubai for a few days.

I just could not say no! We left on Monday evening, spent the entire Tuesday in the city and landed at 12 o'clock at Schiphol Airport Amsterdam on Wednesday.

We went to the giant Emirates Mall and watched the indoor skiing, also did some lunch and shopping. In the evening we had dinner in the harbour (The Creek / Marina) and after that we walked through the deira, the old city center with little local shops.

Last but not least, what made this city trip to Dubai so special, is that I flew business class and did could spend as many hours as I wanted in the COCKPIT of the KLM Airbus. So I was sitting there during take-off and landing, slept some hours in the business class to sleep and eat.

When I came back on Wednesday, I could hardly believe I had been there, especially because on Sunday evening, I had not even heard about a plan to go to Dubai. It was great, thank you Ronald Funke Küpper, chairman of the NRPS, who flew me to Dubai and back and did a super guided tour!
