Doha

Great flight. Got some sleep. Watched only 1 1/2 movies. Blackberry and A Man Named Otto - I'll watch the rest on the next flight.
I had crayfish for dinner (WA no less) Not the best I've tasted. I don't think you can beat just plain cooked crazy with vinegar and pepper. 
This is a new plane. The spaces are smaller but the bed was good. They came and made it up. I remember a flight where I had to do that myself.
I loved the hot towel this morning and cold towels x 2 after meals ( or was it before?) 
Breakfast early. Coffee x 2.
Arrived in Doha about 5am. A massive airport. So many flights that mine wasn't listed. A bit of a scare 'til I found someone and got a gate number. Walked 2kms! No seating anywhere. I sat on the bottom rail,!
When I got to the gate we couldn't board. Computers down so all done manually. 
I have just arrived in Athens. We had to wait for a short but now moving. I'm being picked up (I hope)
And now I'm in my hotel room. Alone at last. Now for a shower!

My last day in Bologna

Up early this morning for my free coffee and brioche. I did rest before I went. A delightful breakfast! the noodles were ok but I didn't drain the tuna enough so it was a bit wet - yuk! But it was protein! I thought I would walk to the railway station today to see if it was ok for tomorrow. It's an easy route which is good.  It was a lovely walk. Lots of shops but also historic sites that I would never have found otherwise. it looks like the Gateway of India. No clue. the railway station. the same gateway from the other end. It looks like a most around it with ruins - maybe Roman. those look very deep - maybe something to do with the canals. it was a fun find. the across a road there's was this.  and this? It looked like the whole lot of it was a welcome to the city. The only thing I could find was from Google maps. Bologna, Emilia-Romagna http...

I've done the packing but I've got too much stuff. Only 4 sleeps so need to sort this soon. Apart from packing there's the garden, a tree to be sorted, bookings still to be sorted..... Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.

I missed the picture of all the Australian products made of felt. Very cute. Found this online After lunch we wandered. that's us. It was raining. they are all carrots! We then went to a pub. A very old pub! Can't find the name of it.
