In this episode of Backpacking Bananas, the team faces the wrath of missed connections in Doha with Qatar Airways. A tale as old as time, our intrepid travelers find themselves stranded in a city not of their choosing, courtesy of a delayed flight. But fear not, for the Royal Riviera Hotel awaits, promising a surprising twist in the form of a comfortable room that defies all expectations. Despite the lack of fresh clothes, the team embarks on a breakfast adventure, making the most of their unexpected layover with a hearty meal.
Armed with only the contents of their hand luggage, our heroes navigate the challenges of a day in Doha sans their checked-in belongings. From pajamas to swimsuits, the team manages to salvage essentials for the day ahead, even contemplating a dip in the rooftop pool. However, the absence of contact lenses and clean clothes poses a dilemma, forcing them to embrace the city in hiking boots. Undeterred by the setbacks, the team presses on, making the best of a less-than-ideal situation with humor and resilience.
