Sunday
I managed to get around 4 – 5 hrs sleep, the bed is comfy the pillows are lovely and soft!
I feel much better and much calmer this morning, my brain is also now functioning properly so I’m able to go online and change my Newquay flight, praise the Lord! So glad I paid the extra for a flexible ticket!
Actually the only reason I can do this is because the hotel Wifi is decent.
I’m disgusted that such a huge transport/transfer hub such as Doha Airport has such shockingly bad WiFi, especially as Qatar is apparently one of the wealthiest countries in the world! Sort it out you Numpties! I got better wifi on a Bloody Beach in the middle of the Andaman Sea!
There is nothing to do in Doha Airport, I pay a fist to the Duty manager and get a letter which I’ll use to apply for compensation, I ask if I can leave the terminal and he says, sure, but then I’ll need a PCR test to get back in! Well that’s fucking helpful Not!
He does however give me more food vouchers to use in the terminal instead of the hotel, this is nice but I’d have to be a professional eater to get through all the vouchers, especially as they don’t include any Alcohol!!
I have a wander round the pretty deserted terminal, looking at all the massively expensive designer stuff I can’t afford!
I go back to the hotel and discover that there is a big swimming pool on the next level, I go up and investigate it looks great. The lady tells me they sell swimming costumes, handy as mine are in my suitcase which is who knows where! She tells me the have a large and an Xtra Large, she is holding up a costume as she tells me this. I ask to see the xtra large and she says this is it, I’m like, WTF? This thing looks like it might fit a malnourished 12 year old, I shit you not! So now I not only can’t have a swim I also feel like a Goodyear blimp!
My Doha Airport experience just gets better and better!
More mooching, then I go back to my room for a nap. I still have 9hrs to kill.
The time goes by very slowly, around 11pm I find a bar and have a drink, extortionate prices!
My flight is finally on the board and it’s on time. I get to the gate with my fancy Silver Boarding Pass and prepare to be amazed!
I’m going to dedicate a separate post to my experience!
