We both went to Dubai a couple of weekends ago. I was playing hockey for our club. It was a very interesting turf... The surface was sand and there was a land cruiser that drove on the surface to flatten out the sand. Over all we had a great time and my club took home all the trophies that were on offer. I also had the privilege to get a few 'suspected' broken ribs for a poor tackle. Oh well I will be feeling them for a couple of weeks... It was nice. Had some Bacon. A nice break from Doha.
Today we started to set up our Christmas decorations. We are going to have a Christmas lunch for our friends over here so we needed to do a little work. This is what it looks like at the moment.
Well we went camping on Saturday night in the desert. It was quite an experience.
We all meet at school and started our journey. We drove for about 4O minutes down the coast, then we took about an hour off road. The Kia was fine... Had it in 4 wheel drive and away she went. We saw a nice film set on the way to the camping site. It was used for a TV show a few years ago but nothing anymore. It looked really nice. I put my window down and it broke and didn't want to go back up... A great start.
A bit more driving and then we made it to our camp site. The others set up their tents. Jen and I set up the bed in the back of the car. A very wise idea... We then had a lovely afternoon hanging around playing Frisbee golf and throwing an American football round. Then it got dark at like 5pm, we had a nice dinner and then the wind came suddenly, then the rain came. So we went to bed (in the back of the car). Slept well (with a nice breeze coming in the window) and woke later to find that there was one tent less. Their tent blew down 3 times in the night,it was sooo windy that they slept in their car instead. In the morning, we had a lovely breakfast and headed back home... I was even allowed to get a cache on the way home. All in all a good trip camping.
