Arrived!

Good morning all. Just arrived in Nairobi, following my 14 hour flight. I was expecting to wait in the arrivals of Nairobi (of what there is left following the fire!) for 6 hours by myself, but i was kindly collected by Jack from Pembroke at 1am! Not so sure what would have happened otherwise...

So, I'd never previously been to Qatar, but having experienced 2 hours of it from the confines of the airport, I learnt a fair bit. If anyone's ever been to Doha airport, they'll know you have to take a 5/10 minute bus ride to the departure lounge. However, if you were fortunate enough to be travelling Business class, you'd be chauffeured by yourself in your own stretched limo. Yes, that's right, a wife stretched limo. So whilst us mere mortals in economy class waited, for what seemed an hour, in the stuffy plane, the billionaire Arabs, with their fancy head-dresses, waltzed into their transport. It does make you aware of the stark inequality in these middle east nations, which one doesn't always associate with them.

Anyway, as I attempt to sleep in the minibus with Jack and this lovely driver, I thought I'd briefly update you all.

Oh, and its 15 degrees here, and its 4am...not to make you jealous.

See you all later,

H
