Bye Bye Berlin!

We all knew this terrible day would come.  The day that my leave was officially over and I had to head back home. Manja lives reasonably close by the airport, and I was able to spend the last night there and head to the airport with minimal stress.

The flight to Doha was uneventful, and I had a rather long layover to allow me to see a few sights in Doha, by taking a day trip tour which you can arrange at the airport.  It really is an interesting place, someday I might stay for a bit longer and see more of it.

After the tour I hung about the airport before the long flight home, and caught some well needed sleep in one of the many “Quiet Rooms” made specifically for sleeping travellers.  Got to say, beats the pants of Dubai!

Feeling slightly more rested, I grabbed some dinner and even updated my blog. I have to say I had a pleasant enough 10 hours at the Doha airport.  It’s not massive, but it has everything you need.

Dinner!

13 hours and too many movies on a tiny screen later, I arrived safe, sound and exhausted in Adelaide.

My Long service leave adventure was over, but as it turns out another adventure was just around the corner.
