Tennis and Camels


We went to watch the Qatar Open on Friday night- the semi finals.

There were some camels around as they were offering rides - and this camel was so beautiful (yes a beautiful camel) he was so fluffy.


Is he not beautiful!!!!


This one looked evil'

See how fluffy he is.

The view we had from our seats

Andy Roddick vs Gael Monfils
 (Roddick got through to the finals)



Rafael Nadel was wiped out of the tournament by Gael Monfils - here he was hitting a few balls around - I managed to get this close to snap him - there were girls swooning at the sidelines!!!


Gael Monfils (french player)

We also watched a little of the Andy Murray vs Roger Federer - it was getting so cold that we left.

Out for A Stroll

Friday mornings is when we go down to the Corniche for a walk (now that the weather is cool enough)  it is so lovely to walk along the water front.  We walk for about 5km.
