14 hour layover in Abu Dhabi
At the end of day 1 [and technically I'm not even there yet] I'm having to amend my list to include, 1d) times I got completely lost. Having said that, I wasn't lost - I knew exactly where I was, just not where I was meant to be... Rewind a little. I set off from home at 7.45am and Mum promptly drove the right-wrong way to the airport. It worked …
