  • Boat trip

    No diving, just a boat trip as we turned around early as the water was too rough. It doesn’t look rough in the photo but it is hard to show the roughness in a photo. The issue with the rough water is that you need to slow down so the trip can take too long.

  • Generator attached to substation in Fintas

    Generator

    Many of the local substations are decorated like this one. This is the first time I’ve seen a generator attached though.

  • Bjorg Organic Chocolate

    Bjorg Organic Chocolate

    This chocolate is very tasty. Probably the best I’ve ever had! A bit pricy here though I think it is 1.4 KD or about $6 for a bar but if you eat it slowly, if you can!

  • Seoul to Kuwait via Dubai

    Well my bag, the green one made it onto the plain in Dubai for the final let into Kuwait. Then we waited as there was a problem with the air conditioning on the Kuwait Airways plan. An hour and a half late we took off. And the Kuwait to Dubai flight last week there was also a problem on the Kuwait Airways plane that they had to fix, which delayed us an hour and our bags didn’t make the connection to the Emirates flight to Seoul.

    Then it is time to fly into Kuwait.

     

    Kuwait Airport Landing Approach

     

    Apparently the last week it has been sunny in Kuwait and it is only today that it is dusty.

    Kuwat Airport Termina

    We didn’t dock at a gateway, we had to board a bus to the terminal. Same in Dubai, as there is so much construction going on.

  • The War Memorial of Korea

    The War Memorial of Korea is a large facility with some impressive displays and thorough information. Of course as a country suffering from Japanese occupation from 1910 to after WW II then a North Korean invasion and the Korean War in 1950 – 1951 and even involvement in the Vietnamese war, your national security is a foremost concern!
