We didn't take lots of pictures in Kuwait, so there are no
pictures of the 'browns' on the golf course - (greens made of sand with oil added -
hey, oil was cheap!). No pictures of the money market where the shop windows had piles
of different currencies in the windows. We also missed the time when we went to the beach up near the
Saudi border and it was covered from edge to edge with crabs.
I think we were obviously in a photographic lull during this period when the highlight
of our week was Inspector Morse on a Monday night. Maybe it was the heat - 50 degrees centigrade
in the shade in the summer.

Kuwait harbour - old style dhows with a view of
the modern city behind. |

Safat tower from the souk - streets with market stalls
and small shops. |
| Colin sitting on a jetty looking back at the
beach which was five minutes walk from the apartments where we lived. |

No - we didn't swim here - you can see the
rubbish washed up by the sea. Max, our dog, is in the foreground. |

A better view of the souk. |

The camel lines at the camel races. |

A couple of pictures of Kes the kestrel.
We bought him in the animal souk - for about eight pounds. I didn't really want a bird to look
after but we felt sorry for him. We never flew him outside but he would fly to us in the flat.
We sometimes let him fly around loose - the curtains were streaky anyway. It was really
amusing to be sitting watching TV and a kestrel walks around the corner and jumps on the coffee table. |
