So I finally made it to Qatar, more specifically Doha. I should warn you now not to have high hopes for this blog post as I am beyond delirious right now. I don't sleep well on planes and after two flights and losing about 10 hours along the way I'm a little confused about what day it is right now. My brain has definitely been telling me for the last few hours to sleep that's all I know.
After a bit drama at Auckland airport the rest of the journey was a breeze and thankfully there was a nice driver from the hotel which is my temporary residence to meet me at Doha airport. I got my fix of new arrival joy, you know where you stare gormlessly out the window of whatever mode of transport takes you to your accommodation when you arrive somewhere new. It's one of my favourite things about travelling, that moment where everything is new and exciting/weird. Things to note in Doha, many cranes because it's literally a city under construction, no one uses their inidicators, it's all yellow - cue Coldplay.
I went out for a little walk whilst I was still capable of making basic decisions like - turn left, walk down there etc and discovered, well not a lot. I'm not going to lie, it was hot, the directions the nice man on reception gave me were a complete lie and I was getting sleepier by the step. See I told you not to hold out too much for this post. In more exciting news I have a remote in my room for the lights that changes the colour and speed and some other buttons I'm too scared to touch after the few minutes where I had them stuck on strobe which were not so much fun. Fingers crossed I can work out how to turn them off when it's sleep time or my first day at work tomorrow could be interesting...
