Day 1: Melbourne - Dubai - Paris

Sheraton Paris de Gaulle Airport Hotel

23 December 2025

The flight was uneventful, but long. I tried limiting what I ate to avoid feeling sick and was doing well until we reached Dubai. I think in future I'm going to have to eat nothing!

We arrived in Paris around 7.30pm and are staying in an airport hotel, so we never even left the airport.
We're catching a flight to Athens tomorrow at 9am, so this seemed like the best arrangement.
We came up to the room and went straight to bed, we were so tired!

Movenpick Petra Hotel 17 January 2026 We headed off in the bus this morning to nearby Mount Nebo. It turns out this is the mountain where Moses supposedly viewed the Promised Land and a Franciscan order built a monastery on the site. (Someone had a vision there, so obviously this was the right location.)
