Wednesday was again in sign of EXPO, but compared to Tuesday also in sign of Burj Khalifa. We got up late, enjoyed the breakfast and tried hotel pool. Around 12 pm we arrived on EXPO where, thanks to Czech Pavilion, we got to Japan Pavilion, which is the most wanted from all of Pavilions. All of was were really exited about it and it wasn´t surpassed by any other. After that we went our separate ways around the EXPO premises and explored various corners and presentations of the countries until 6 pm. Next we got by subway to Burj Khalifa, because we bought entry to 124. floor of this skyscraper. View from the highest building of the world was breathtaking. We definitely enjoyed it and took enormous amount of photos. After that we took a walk in the Burj Khalifa neighborhood with singing fountain. The melody with graceful choreographic of fountains was, by my opinion, unforgettable experience. Then we had dinner and we got to the hotel. Tomorrow a lot awaits us, That´s why we´re going to sleep. Keep following our expedition and bye!

PS: For everyone who missed our performance, don´t despair! You can find the whole video recoding on our Instagram.

The fourth day was crucial for us as it was the day we were exhibiting at EXPO 2020 in the Czech Pavilion. We woke up early, had breakfast, got ready and headed to the EXPO. The journey itself was quite long as the huge EXPO complex is located outside the city centre. Upon arrival, however, we made it through security without too much trouble and headed to the Czech Pavilion, located on the north side of the expo. Once we arrived at the pavilion, we were greeted very nicely and the guided tour was interesting. We did a short sound check and got a break, which we mostly used to try the street food. After lunch we explored a few pavilions and towards the evening the promised concert followed twice - at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm local time. To our surprise, there was a lot of interest and even locals came to listen to us. Both concerts were successful and we could relax and enjoy the beauty of the evening expo with a feeling of good representation of our town. After that it was just a journey to the hotel and sleep. This was a ride! See you tomorrow EXPO!

The third day started much better than the previous one, mainly due to the fact that we slept in very comfortable beds in our accommodation. This was followed by breakfast, which was really delicious. We then got dressed, got ready for a full day of travelling around Dubai and the adventure could begin. First we explored the beauty of Dubai Mall and the adjacent Burj Khalifa area. This building amazed us not only with its architecture, but especially with its height, as it is the tallest building in the world. The area around Burj Khalifa is filled with countless skyscrapers and interestingly, most of them belong to one company - Emaar. After exploring the area more than enough, we took the metro and then a bus to the beach - La Mer. Here, despite it being February, we rinsed our feet and enjoyed a beautiful view of the sea. Next, we had to go back by the familiar combination of transport - bus, metro and we headed towards Emirates Mall - the largest shopping mall in the world, which incidentally also has a ski slope. Here we got a free time to explore the mall and we spend a lot of money here. Then we got to the hotel and went to sleep. Tomorrow is a big day. See you later!

It´s really here. Alarm wakes us before 5:00 am and we are slowly heading to Václav Havel´s airport in Prague. Check-in was smooth, quick and the same could be said for our six-hour flight. However, it has to be said that a slight fatigue was caused by the three-hour time delay. Upon arrival, we were given the usual identification by the local police and then transferred by metro to our accommodation, which is about 45 minutes by metro from the airport. On arrival at the hotel we checked in and had a well-deserved meal. We were greeted by very friendly service and dinner was delicious. Now we´ll take a short walk around our hotel and off to bed. See you tomorrow!
