Catie loves stuff...

I love Doha airport and coffee and internet and ugly little crystal statues of puffin birds and souvenirs of places I've never actually been.


I have a 16 hours layover in Doha airport. It's fun. I think I forgot to mention I changed my flight to be a week earlier, I figured I"d rather be travelling alone in Europe than Tanzania. So originally I had a ten hour layover here, painful but could cope. To get this flight I had to take a 16 hour layover. It's cool. I can't even see the light at the end of the tunnel and I've been here for 9 hours. I just spent two hours wandering around duty free staring at ornate jewellery and overpriced everything. Bought coffee. Not awake now, but have weird sort of energy, you know how it is. So I'm inflicting my craziness on you because I have found free internet. I think. It hasn't made me pay for it so it must be free. Right? My muffin was blueberry with no blueberries in it. Ha... I met a nice British couple on the plane who let me hang with them for three hours till their flight and Tom went to buy some snacks but it took him ages because there was a german lady at the front of the queue repeating "What is blueberry? But what is blueberry?" And no one knew the answer so she just went on repeating herself. Love airports!

I'm going to post this and not force more sleep-deprived Catie on you all, but I do love you all. Sleeplessness is better than alcohol, everything is a bit too bright though. And the airport is freezing! I'm wearing a merino jumper and my sweater! I guess it's to compensate for outside being so hot, but it's pretty uncomfortable. Ok, really posting now.
