Only in Saudi

Christmas Dinner 21st December 2009

Tonight a group of us went out to celebrate christmas . We all arrived in Riyadh at the same time hence have become good friends. We went to one of the compounds for traditional christmas dinner.

Me looking like I have had a few too many already - have not even walked in the door yet!!!! (Its a look of anticipation for the end of the night)

More of The Edge

More photos of the Edge of The World - taken with a much better camera than mine.

Crazy!!!!!

Trip to the Edge of the World

Today I went for a drive to a place called The Edge of the World and these photos say it all.

Just amazing and well worth the two hour drive to get there - with one hour being bumpy off road. My photos are not fabulous when I get some better ones taken by other people I will post them also. The first one was taken by someone else and is a great picture.

There were a couple of Saudi guys climbing around the ledges - they have no fear.

Long long way down

Shoe Lovers Paradise

Went on a shopping mission tonight to find a pair of red shoes to go with a top that I just bought for our christmas dinner. And you know when you go looking for something specific you never find it - well I must say that here there is so much variety especially in shoes that I had no problem once I found this shop.

The shoes were all sorted into colour groups - makes looking for shoes easy.

Boots galore!!!

And the shoes I ended up buying - now I have the bug. I don't wear heels at all ....never!!!! But now I want more - the shoes here are just devine.
