Arrived this evening after setting off from Manchester at 8.55 am. Stayed at the Bewleys Hotel, near the airport last night. Failed to get the wifi network to work on my laptop so was unable to make contact with anyone.
The flight with Qatar Airways was about 7 hours, tiring but passed fairly well - watched a couple of films on the in flight entertainment system. Enjoyed watching "Morning Glory" with Harrison Ford. For the second time, I had a screaming small child in front of me.
The new airport is now partly operational and this time the masses of people who are tranferring on to Sri Lanka, Thailand and other exotic locations, were dropped off at a different terminal. So the inbound to Doha passengers had a fairly easy time through immigration.
Nice comfy ride in a mercedes to the hotel in the centre of the city and have finished my unpacking. The wifi works and I have been able to skype with my daughter and son and email my husband to let them I've arrived safely. More tomorrow.
