Few Clouds, 3°C Toldbodgade 28A A very disappointing hotel We finally made it to our hotel with everyone at the end of their tether.

The only way to make this … Continue reading A Very Disappointing Hotel

He was obviously toured as he ended … Continue reading Nearly there

The final leg The boys spent most of the time in the lounge playing foos ball. Emily found a copy of “Going on a Bear hint” which she made me read over and over again.

Getting … Continue reading The final leg 

Clear Sky, 23°C Dohs Disembarking was a breeze and especially going through security. We didn’t even need to take Thomas out of his pram. The kids are starting to lose it.

Getting to the lounge was very easy, just the lift up from … Continue reading In Doha

Security was a pain to and if … Continue reading Drama continues
