The last day of Ramadan



At 6:30 in the morning the road was at a standstill and a lot of people were standing/praying outside the big mosque...we guess this is something to do with this being that last day of Ramadan.

The night time is the right time

In contrast to the days, which are hot and humid, the nights are much better. No air conditioning is needed when we sleep!

Beach club



We visited a beach club today...part of a hotel. It was a realy nice place with two pools, slides, a beach and various sports facilities. We may join this club, but we want to check out a few others first. Unfortunately my camera battery is running low, and I have no way to recharge it until our seamail boxes arrive...so I have been economical with the photos. You can see more here:

On the 19th floor!


We live on the 19th floor at the front of the building...which means we do get a great view of the Lagoon. Late afternoon and sunset is pretty good.

Friday Prayers



Friday is a time when many local people go to pray...so there are always a lot of cars parked around mosques. We have three mosques near where we live so will bear this in mind.
