We had tickets to a round of the World Tennis Champs in Abu Dhabi.
I had a good dose of the 'flu but it was amazing to watch Soderling beat Federa and Nadal beat Ferera. As you can see we had a seat quite high up and directly opposite us was a huge video screen.

We all went out to dinner at the Intercontinental the other day to watch karen's singing group. It was lovely to dress up a little. Here are Kay, Lyndel, Julia, martin - and of course - me!!

Brunei

We went to the Friday market during the evening and took in all the sights. Far different from anything we are used to. The fruit and vege were all foreign looking. The open BBQs with chicken and fish looked quite inviting. We tried the chicken kebabs which were good.

Brunei stop over

On the way back to UAE in November I had a stop over at Brunei. Did a city tour which was quite fun. There are some neat sights in Brunei. This is the local mosque and the water villages.

Our visit to Kate's

Kate took us to the beach near Margaret River, Western Australia. They are beautiful but it was too windy to stay long.

Margaret River wineries

The weather was lovely and it was fun spending time with Kate.
