Kuwaiti Fun Times

Summer has officially began here in Kuwait, not only because the temperature has started to hit 45 degrees but also because the fun has began...yay! Joelina recently arrived from Sweden she is our new Little Gym employee. We have thankfully had a few things going on so we have been able to introduce her to the exciting Kuwait social scene. The weekend just gone we were invited to a Hawaiian party at our Kuwait friends house. Of course being a Kuwaiti party there is always lots of alcohol...whoo hoo. So Loz and I took Joelina along to meet a few friends and to have a drink. While we were there however we were shocked to come across a few familiar characters from home, Ernie Dingo was there, as well as...I swear to god... a long lost brother of a lecturer Loz and I had at College. There were lots of laughs and of course we were up to our usual mischievous selves. We were also fortunate enough to meet Saleh a very friendly, wine serving Kuwaiti. He invited us to come out on his boat with him the next day. So never one to knock back an invite to spend some time in the sun we agreed.

He took us out to what is known as the party island in Kuwait. Its actually more of a sand Bar with a communications tower on it but during the summer every one takes their boats, jet skis, scuba gear and of course lots to drink out to the island. We had a great day just swimming and laying in the sun. Now however I am burnt to a crisp but heck I got to get a base tan before my trip to Croatia! Only 5 weeks to go then I am off to beautiful Croatia...Will fill you in more with that later but for now enjoy the pics below....

OH MY GOD real Italian Wine! Whoo hoo The start of a good night for us!
