Qtel Festival of the Kites

As we were sitting in the City Centre Shopping Mall having lunch we noticed in the distance some kites flying - so decided to go check them out.



It turned out to be a Kite Festival 

Everything that was there was something of the inflatable kind
Kids rides and stuff - free entrance and quite cool to look at, but very windy, hot and humid


These guys were racing remote controlled cars

The guy controlling this one was very good at it - they were of a considerable size that they were throwing up stones and dirt as they rounded corners



We were just saying the other day that the country must have shares in one colour of paint as everything is the same ..... dull!!! These are the brightest colours that we have seen since we have been here, it was nice to see something bright.


Me and spiderman

See what I mean about nice bright colours

Not really a good day to photograph them - yesterday the sky was beautiful and blue

These girls are swimming in their abayas and headscarfs

And finally an idiot on a jet ski - he was showing off big time as he had a captive audience - it must have had a V6 engine in it or something as he could be heard miles away. (Notice the abaya clad lady in the water)
