A day in Qatar

Well, we made it finally to Qatar.
A very flat, dry place with incredible construction in progress everywhere. The roads, the shopping areas and all other built up places are in the process of being upgraded or built from scratch. We went exploring with Lynley and Steve and visited the corniche, fishing villages, Lynley's school, a huge shopping complex called the 'City Centre' and finally a Cultural Village where there was a cutural festival in progress.

Very warm, safe and friendly!

After 29 and a half hours of travelling we are now beinning to feel the need for rest. It is 7:15 pm here but that is 4:15 am your time. Although we had some sleep on the plane - it was intermittent and not very good.

We'll have a day to explore the place again tomorrow with Steve for the morning and Lynley when she gets home from scholl at about 2:30 pm. She will need to be up at 5:00 am so we will all head off to bed fairly soon.

The adventure has begun! A great first day!!

Cheers to everyone.
