Hello Friends,
Today I want to share with you some pictures of Saturday which was well spent catching up with my craft group and exploring Kuwait.
Last few months have been very busy at work front and I have been working most weekends. This led to missing my craft meetings which is the last thing I like to do. Weather has been pleasant (and cold) since December and working on weekends led to frustration of not being able to be out in open. Every year I look forward to winter season so that I can attend all the craft bazaars, fairs, open markets and this is what helps me get thru the horrid summer here.
Thursday I decided not to work on weekend and explore some new places . Saturday morning I attended my craft group meet up at Luna & Beau . Its a pet friendly cafe where one can bring their pets , hang out for coffee, play with the resident cats and use the grooming services.
Here are some pics:
After the meetup , we took a quick stop at new to me park -Yarmouk Public Garden which has some recycled art. Its a small park , nicely maintained . We enjoyed a stroll thru the park ,I love how the pics turned out with overcast sky.It has been raining here regularly , with temperatures dipping but high humidity.
Next stop was Kuwait Marine Museum ,also called Al Heshami Marine Muesum. This museum is built next to "Al Hashemi II " which is world's largest dhow with its name entered in Guinness World Records.
Al Hashemi II is a Baghlah, which is is a large deep-sea dhow, a traditional Arabic sailing vessel.
The museum houses replicas of traditional Kuwaiti boats like the Boom of different kind , trading boats used in Arabic peninsula,a viking boat and pictorial journey of how the Al Hashemi II was built.
The museum is small , one of the main reasons people think it would be boring. However, big or small , I'm yet to find a museum where I didn't learn something new.
For people in Kuwait , please use following information:
Location: Inside Radisson Blu , however you can enter the museum without entering the hotel. Ask for direction once you reach the hotel.
Entrance Fees: Free
Opening hours: Everyday 10 am to 5 pm
Photography: Allowed
If you fancy a luxurious meal, you can dine at the Al Boom or Al Heshami Ball room :)
We came back home after making memories ...a beautiful morning well spent exploring around. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed visiting these places.

Hi mini
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. I have also had a virtual tour thru this post. U have narrated your exploration beautifully.
Your adventures look like so much fun. And I would love the cat cafe!!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a pet friendly cafe...I don't have a pet but I'd go there all the time. Also - boats!!
ReplyDeleteYou certainly had a nice day of visiting new places and exploring. Glad the rain stopped while we were crafting.
ReplyDeleteI would turn into a little girl again at a pet cafe. "LOOKIT ALL THE KITTIES" and proceed to pet them all. :))) The tire tree is my favorite; a recycled park is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI love visiting museums, small or large. Smaller ones usually have very friendly workers that can tell all sorts of stories about the items! This one looks like it was super interesting.
The museum looks very interesting and the pet cafe is a great idea! I love the idea of having a cat on your lap with your coffee and cake!
