Abu Dhabi waiting blues....

Well, it seems I was somewhat amiss with my times. It wasn't an 11 hour trip to Abu Dhabi, it was closer to seven which is great, except we now have a 13 hour stopover. At the moment it is 4AM and we still have 9 hours to go so it will probably be a long night. On the plus side those of us travelling today are in good spirits and the decor is pretty amazing (the roof looks like an inverted tagine lid) so I guess we'll survive. If only the seats were comfortable! Still though, on to Johannesburg tomorrow and then a 3 hour road trip to Maseru. All of us are finding it a bit surreal that after all this time preparing, we will be there tomorrow. We can't wait.
