DOHA

DOHA for the weekend,

Mid June, Darren had a fantastic offer for work so we headed to Doha, boys were so surprised the flight was only 1/2hr, but it was a very isolated place. Quite amazing really, to think that the Doha Games had been there last year and they had build such strange modern buidlings in the middle of a dusty/sandy desolate place.....hmm...one day it will be a thriving city in the desert but now nothing really....loads of building going on, a whole modern city being built at the same time.....wow these guys over here really want to compete with each other........not for us now, but if we were a couple of year younger and no kids (nothing much for them to do there) we would have done it! oh and dont be fooled by the locely green carpet, used for grass!!!!

The old arabic market place was interesting, music and local food, even a strange gelati....alot of reject shop type stuff with a smatering of arabic culture.
