Progress

First booking for the Big Trip (working title) has been made. I appear to be working backwards. Our one night of luxury in the Four Seasons Doha in a Standard Room is all set for the 8th-9th February. I think it will be a much appreciated treat after our whirlwind tour of Europe.

Actually I'm in the process of trying to make it a little less whirlwind to make sure that we come home with something in our pockets! As such I've made a booking enquiry for our final European destination in the South of France and we'll try and stay there for two weeks. It looks like an amazing house (I may have posted the link earlier, if not I'll do so when we get confirmation of the booking). It's a great price for the accommodation as well as being in a great place... Here's hoping we can get the booking!

I took a video today of the view from the shuttle to work just for kicks and it was a perfect day to do so. Our bus went almost all the way to the stadium to discover that the road to the stadium had been closed so we drove almost two thirds of the way back to the accommodation before we could get on to the other road to work. Fab! Not to mention the off-road coach driving. Every day has a little excitement in Doha :)

We received word today that SBS will be broadcasting the Opening Ceremony at 3pm EST in Australia so any of you who are interested should be able to watch it!

Okay, must running away to do stuff now.
