Taken by our good Rob to Oliver Tambo, Hilary and I duly boarded the Qatar Airlines plane set for Doha. We had a most comfortable flight with good food and good care. A clean well maintained plane and pleasant staff saw us in good spirits as we made our long flight to Qatar where we landed at night. The air was very humid and before we had reached the tarmac, our clothing was sticking to our limbs and breathing was a little strained. The transit lounge held an open plan floor of many shelves and display cabinets of jewellery, leather iterms electronic goods and cosmetics and of course, a shop with alcohol and magazines and toys. There was a coffee lounge where we settled and soon began an informal and pleasant discussion with an American gentleman sitting at his computer, alongside us, and who had worked for a NGO which had facilitated peace in Nepal. Nepal gained a peaceful government four years ago. This man, having started his career in Nepal some twenty years before as a post graduate, had a Napelese wife.
