Afghanistan 15th April to 2nd May 2009

Part 1

Abu Dhabi - I was a little upset that I wouldn't have the time this trip to explore Abu Dhabi since we were on a layover there and on return. time is tight this trip and we are soo busy at work there is barely time to breathe. 

But Abu Dhabi Airport is something of a site on its own. The centre piece you see in the pictures below absolutely shine and the whole place has a Las Vegas/outer-space glitter to it. 

(this line of boring text will soon be replaced by the amazing above mentioned photos)

So for the 2 and a half hours we were there, we enjoyed some coffee and checked out a few shops. our flight information didn't come up on the screens, and when we tried to pass through security, they didn't know if we were delayed or not. That is when we checked out the shops, and I nearly didn't make it to the plane on time - last one to board actually. Whew!
