The Trip

After over three weeks in Sweden my schedule is organized and I have finally time to work on this blog. The trip from MEL to STO went excellent since I had a full row of chairs to sleep on during the first 13 hour leg to Qatar. To fly with an Arabic airline was just as good as with any other but still, it generated some mixed feelings. The service was perfect where we got free bottled water regularly and the meals were good (probably because they were prepared according to islamic traditions). The Qatar airport was a disappointment with its location in the desert and rubble everywhere. It is a very small airport, I guess because it is mostly for passenger transit. The city lies next to the airport and is completely covered with yellow smog. I asume not many travellers would stay there. Many arab men were dressed in beautiful white traditional clothing and looked like Osama. I wondered if there are any women named "Omama". (What I do know is that the president is "Obama"...sorry)! If this technical challenge works, you will be able to see the airport and the city on the video. After the stop in Qatar it was only six hours left to fly to Stockholm. More about that later...
