Doha (iii)

3rd day - Pig went on flight, I nua-ed the whole day. But Mab brought me out for a sumptuous Fish and Rice dinner. Heh...

4th day

Woke up late (as usual). We nua-ed for a while, then went to Camel's The Mint for lunch!

I could be stoned for taking this picture



The tickets are priced differently depending which events you're going for. We got ours at 10 Riyals each to the Aspire to watch the Gymnastics.

You could go for all the events that were taking place in the Aspire for the whole day for the 10 Riyals you paid.

Cheap hor?

We managed to catch the wushu people rehearsing for the competition on the next day.

But of course we were there for the Gymnastics.

In the end, we could get home only after we Pig ran after cabs with her hand on the door.

It was HORRIBLE.

Whole mass of people!
