Bahrain here we come!

Well the day has finally arrived and we are getting ready for the off. I am (as usual) up a little on the early side! I am filled with a mixture of excitement, bewilderment and terror with the emphasis on the excitement side. I am really looking forward to seeing the country for real instead of just the internet.

This is the Bahrain world trade centre. I will take my own picture for you to compare. There are three wind turbines mounted between the buildings to provide the power. How cool is that? I remember watching the programme called Megastructures about this building. Little did I realise that some day I would see it for real.

Sheila is still sleeping. She is amazingly relaxed and just takes everything in her stride. People think she is just a quiet wee thing but like the buidling above she is a tower of strength, she is MY tower of strength. Next post will see us on the move. Watch this space!
