Yesterday, Zoe and I took a aimless drive around Doha to break in my new car. It was really only suppose to be a quick drive but the smoothness of the ride ended up putting her to sleep. So, what was suppose to be a quick drive, ended up being a two and a half hour drive instead. I did manage to find my way around without referring to Google Maps that often, but I did get myself in to a bit of a pickle when Google Maps indicated that I was driving on a road that stopped in the middle of nowhere!! Never mind that, cause I ended up driving on and finding civilisation!! Phew!!
Today we took the car for another spin down to Sealine, just over an hours drive from home. The drive was rather pleasant and peaceful with Zoe sleeping most of the way and what awaited us was exactly what we needed; sun, sand and surf!!
The lonely drive with nothing but sand, sand and more sand.
On Zoe's first day in Doha, she pointed out the window at all the sand by the side of the road and proudly proclaimed "look mum, it's just like the beach". Little did she know that the sand is everywhere is Doha. My front porch can be described as a beach on some days!!

The lush green gardens surrounding the pools
Anyone for a game of chess?

And of course, what is a beach without camels??
Zoe was certain she wanted to ride the camels, but I was able to convince her that we would wait till Cousin Mya and Cousin Anaya came to ride the camels together
