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.

(click on image to see larger)



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.

Hash December 4th, 2009

Another Hash adventure in the desert. Was not going to go this week due to the rain - but afterall I am waterproof and that was not a good enough excuse not to go.
I was a 'Hare' again this week - so left early to mark the trail.



There was lots of flooding along the way - was nice to see so much water around and a little greenery. Lots of the wadi's along the way had running water.

Cars ahead marking off the roads with flour.

Wet boggy desert.

This week I helped Sean to mark out the trail for the runners - this is me at the top of the first hill we climbed that day. It took about 1.5hrs to mark out the trail.



We came from way down there!!!




The water check

Water and some greenery.


The trail of people going up the hill.
