This photo by Ramon Marbella captures last year’s dramatic sandstorm as it hit Mangaf. It was taken from Kuwait Meteorological Department website, and was the second place winner in their recent photo competition. In my opinion it should have been number 1.

I arrived this morning from a business trip. When I read on 248am and Nicole B blogs about a spill near the North Pier, I headed straight to the beach and saw the action there.  There were two security cars.  Having just arrived from 12 hour flight, the last thing I wanted to do is argue about taking photos.  I chickened out – so please click the links in this post for more information.

A friend & neighbour posted these images on Facebook November 29th.  I saw them yesterday and he kindly gave me permission to use them today.  Thank you Moosa.

The good news is that the great staff will be the same – which means we will still have delicious food and good service.

I will miss seeing this logo.
