Day 90. Home. 18.5.24

A very cruisy flight. Arrived back in Brisbane half hour early. 

I caught up on some movies and we both managed a couple of hours snoozing. The meals in business class were once again delicious but over generous in quantity. 

Happy to be almost back to Brisbane. 

The flight was roughly 12,360 kms.

The temperature in Brisbane was 24° when we landed. We were out of the airport quickly, picked up the car and home just after 10pm. Mark has gone backwards and coughing a lot again. Time to visit his own doctor.

Looking forward to catching up with our girls and grandchildren tomorrow 💕

Edited to add we didn't do the family catch up as by the next morning Mark was very ill. Rachel and the boys went to stay in a van park for a week to hopefully let Mark get better and not make them sick.

Day 89. In the air. 17.5.24.

Happy Birthday to our daughter, Melissa. Hope you have a fun filled day. See you Sunday. 🎂 🎉 

Went for another short walk this morning.  The temperature was 32° at 7.15am. We had a small shower of rain which is unusual for Qatar at this time of the year.

We are packed and ready to head to the airport for our final flight to Brisbane in 9 hrs. It's a 14hr flight and we add 7hrs back on to the clock, so it will be Saturday evening by the time we get back to Oz. 

We took another little walk to stretch the legs. The temperature had risen to 38°. We found a homewares store and popped in for a browse.

Arrived at the airport about 3.30. It has been by far the easiest check in of all our flights. 

Lunch in the lounge was delicious. 

Good way to start the flight home.

Day 88. Doha. 16.5.24

 A pretty lazy day today. I didn't sleep well and had a couple of mini Nana naps.

Had a huge and delicious lunch at an Indian restaurant recommended by one of our guides.

Late in the afternoon we walked to the Museum of Islamic Art, about 1 km in 37°heat.

All made from silk.

First floor completed we headed up 👆 

After 2 hrs, we were only halfway through but were getting tired so called it quits and walked back home. Can't wait to be 100% well again and get some fitness back.

Today we walked nearly 4kms. The temperature range was 29-38°.
